Dbowperson Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Please pardon my ignorance, but I am new to the whole aftermarket stereo field. I just had an X940BT put into my '10 Ram. It was installed by a national stereo chain, and I asked them to bypass the E-Brake. What they did was to put a 40AMP relay in the wiring, but it did not over ride the speed monitor, so my video and certain nav features still cut out when I start driving. Is anyone familiar with what exactly they did, and can I just move the mute wire up and ground it to unlock everything, or should I pull out the relay and run the bypass like has been described at length? I see where the e-brake wire plugs into the 40Amp relay, then it looks like a ground that jumps between 2 terminals, and a dark blue wire on the 4th terminal, but I'm not sure where that goes. I can snap a pic if that would help. Thanks. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dbowperson Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Never mind. Turns out half the work was already done for me. All I had to do was run a jumper wire from the hole above the Mute wire to one of the grounded terminals on the 40Amp relay. That grounded the parking brake wire with the jumper, so I did not have to cut or move anything. I like it because now if I ever have to take the radio in for warranty work, I can just pull the jumper wire and there's no evidence that I hacked it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
