afawbush Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I am getting my AVIC installed at a car audio shop. In order to bypass is there anything else or something more technical I should tell the guy other than "run the parking brake line to a ground and run a line from the empty slot to a ground." Also, I want to set it up so I can hook up a regular home DVD player for use on road trips, should I ask him to hook up RCA cords into my A/V that go into the glove compartment or something like that? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 First you might want to make sure they'll actually do that first. A lot of places will not do anything as far as doing bypass lockouts on nav systems anymore. You can thank lawyers for that one. IF you do run a home dvd player in your car you will need a power inverter to supply power to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sportsfan21 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I was lucky; my installer did the bypass, but if your guy won't do it in the open, ask him if you can give him cash to do it under the table. My guy said he couldnt write it on the receipt, and that he would bypass it for $50 cash. You can tell your installer to run the RCA cords and put them somewhere, but instead of using a home DVD player, you can use a portable DVD player and you don't have to worry about using a power inverter or anything like that.

VWPASSAT2.0T Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Can I just run the Parking brake wire to the Ground wire in the harness. would that not do the same thing??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 no it doesn't. You'll either need to manually flash the headlights or get ducatiboy's circuit. either route you go, the parking brake wire must be left unconnected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ducati's flasher only works on the Z1. The OP is referencing the D2 he just purchased. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Theyre a smaller local shop, nothing like BestBuy or something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
