Red face Video bypass?

I recently purchases the Eclipse AVN4430 double din head unit for my Yaris and was wondering if anyone knew how to do the video bypass while driving? I read that the other Eclipse AVN head units only require you to ground the brake wire. Does anyone know if this is true? Thanks.

I don't know of any current models that still allow that simple hack. Hopefully yours is. Here's a pricey hack from everyone's favorite... E-Bay!

how would the head unit know one way or the other? There is a wire somewhere attached to the shift column. find and ground that wire.


If you can post a diagram of the harness for it.

HU's got a little more complicated that the simple ground the parking brake sensing line a few years ago... even so there may be a few that that will still work on... I think the common method now looks for a transition from parking brake on to parking brake off. Grounding the wire would just give the condition of parking brake off. Some hacks involve splicing in a switch to toggle to fake the HU out... others use a monostable multivibrator (i.e. 555 timer) to trick the HU.

Thanks. I'll let you know what works when I get the chance to install my HU. Just wanted some tips first.

if you can post the wiring diagram for your head unit I can tell you one way or another.

I found this thread and the guy said he just grounded the parking wire to disable it...

I have a pioneer avic in my car and all I did was connect a toggle switch to the cable that should connect to the ebrake and at the flip of the switch video on video off
