    Benz Parking Brake Wire

    Good Morning! I have a Mercedes SLK350 with the base stock sound system. I am installing a new kenwood DVD receiver. Can anyone identify the parking brake wire on my SLK? I assume it is one of the wires in the two clusters that plug in near the shifter boot. In the past I have always just...
