Default In-Dash TV(brake bypass) question

I have a 7" in dash-flip out monitor and i am doing the install myself; I have all the power and AV wires hooked up correctly but it still won't turn on(like it's not getting any power), the only wire i don't have connected is the on that say to hook up to the brake and i need to know how to either bypass this or how i connect it to the brake. I would prefer to bypass it so I can use this monitor while the car is moving, but any info will be much appreciated.

Just find a constang ground for that wire to use and it will make it think the parking brake is on the all the time.

a buddy mine at work had that problem. he has a 98 mustang. and what he did. is he put a switch onto the ground wire. then another wire off the switch to the ebrake. so he just fliped the swithc insted of having to pull the brake. so he could have it when driving. try that out. if not. ground it to the brake and have it pulled one click. just so the computer gets tripped and it dosnt affect the driving. but i dont recomend that.

Just ground that brake wire, then it will think you always have the ebarake on therefore you can use it while driving.

they are right... all you have to do is connect a ground wire to it and it solves the problem...
