[quote name="amthar"]Can someone explain the logic behind the moving video protection on the 6800? So if the unit is grounded when the car is started (and the unit gets power), it gives the error and does not allow video, correct? [/quote] Yes this is correct... the system is smart enough to know the wire is just shorted. [quote name="amthar"]If the e-brake wire goes to ground after X seconds (10?) of the unit being on, the protection is bypassed?[/quote] This fools the system into thinking the car was going and now has the ebrake on... [quote name="amthar"]Or if you see the protecti

You attach one end of the 100uF cap to the +12v ACC line and the other end to the olive wire... then the resistor goes from ground to the connection between the cap and olive wire (3 connections here). [quote name="sonnieeeeboi"]so, basically, i take the olive looking hand brake wire and connect a 100uF cap to it(negative side) and connect the positive side of the cap to an 12v ACC source? What about the resister? Do i just have it connecting to the olive wire too and just ground that?

If you take it to radio shack they can set you up with the 100uF capacitor and 50K ohm resistor. You just have to make sure to install the capacitor in with the + lead connected to the +12v Accessory line. This mod acts like the bypass switch just automatically toggles the switch 10 seconds after the ignition is turned on. The ignition must be off for 10 seconds for this circuit to reset... so when you are testing it, dont just turn the carr off then on real quick. If you do then the circuit will not reset and toggle the input. Leav the car off for about 10-15 seconds to give the cap t

Here is a ciucuit I used... Works well for my 6800. [img]http://www.mikecramer.com/images/ebay/Drawing1.jpg[/img] This starts the circuit to the ebrake out at ground then over 10s raises it to 12v making the system thing you applied the ebrake 10 seconds after you started the car. You will still get the warning message, but no limitations!
