Hi Guys,

 

I've just installed the unit today into a lexus is, but even though i've put god know how many HU's in, I'm struggling with the wiring for the handbrake.

 

Where would i find the power side? Most handbrakes i know are a simple 1 wire earth switch.

 

What I'm actually asking is how to wire the push switch to bypass it?

 

I'm assuming a simple push to make switch will do, but then I'm reading about having it grounded?

 

Can someone explain the switch wiring in terms for a simple englishman?

 

green/white - ?

+12v - ?

ground - ?

 

(i think!)

It works for me but I'll try again. If not simply go to youtube and type in appradio bypass. Watch the video by soundman.
