Default dvd player installation

OK guys I plan on buying this:
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-zTjR9we...50&I=110VM9511

However I noticed there is no where to plug in the wire harness and yet cruthfield says this items fits my mustang using a wire harness adapter, I currently already have that adapter from my current head unit I have in their now. So I was wondering if anyone else has installed something like this and how they did it?

my vehicle is a 99 mustang w/ mach 460

I am talking about the harness that holds all the speaker wires, the ground, the power, the memory. All I see are RCA plugs on the back of the dvd player

Yeah, the new head unit/tv/dvd combo you are looking at comes with that harness.

when you installed this did you by pass that (what ever the hell you call it) so you can watch movies when your driving? and if so, was it a piece of cake to do that?

Default RE: dvd player installation

you are refering to the parking brake wire I haven't done that yet, ironically I didn't buy the dvd player to play dvds I needed the screen and the extra inputs to install a computer in the car. However I do know all you have to do is ground that parking brake wire.

Umm an update if anyone is using the search and finds this. Apparently on the newer dvd players the manufacturers got smart and you can't by pass it grounding the wire. However you can just use a switch.. run the parking wire to the switch and then run another wire from the switch to the metal on the car. You may have to flip the switch on and off a couple times but it should work. Or you can always do it the legal way and run the parking wire to the little light blue wire that is on the right side of the ebrake once you pull the center console out. It was light blue in my eyes cause it was night time when I did this.
