Default DVD bypass??

Does anyone know where I can go to get information/instructions on how to wire my Pioneer DVD player through a bypass so the DVD plays videos when the car is in motion?

When in doubt...well, no rhymes, but just tie it into a ground wire. This works by tricking the dvd player into thinking the "parking break wire" is applied, by giving constant power. Try it out, should work nicely.

It's really that simple. I think they design it like our skip shift, easy to use properly, even easier to disable.

Any ground wire will work, after you take the one from the dvd player and connect it. I have done many in the past, easy bypass.
