DVD PLAYER HELP!
i just ordered an in-dash dvd player/cd player unit that folds away and hides in the unit. im so excited haha it has a touch screen, bluetooth for my cell phone (caller id, one touch answering/dialing, all the good stuff). my question= it has to be hooked up to a parking break switch so that i cant play dvds while im driving...is there any wayi could bypass this? on the manual it says DO NOT simply attach to chassis as a ground to bypass....is this how i can bypass it? just by attaching it as a ground? any help would be appreciated....stupid safety features haha.

thats funny that they put that in the manual.
connecting that wire to ground normally activates the radios self destruct sequence as well as notifying the fbi, cia, and osama himself.......
it is every bit as illeagal and traceable as tearing the tag off the mattres mang, don't do it.

As the manual says, do not connect the wire to anything if you want to play DVD's while driving.

do not hook it up to the cig lighter.
They attempted to try somebody in alaska last year for manslaughter when they found out he was watching video when the car drifted across the line causing a head on wreck.
