[QUOTE="SilverBullet6.0, post: 6611755, member: 617607"] I have the VM9312. What I did was run the pink (parking brake) wire to a toggle switch. Then, I ran the other pole of the switch to a chassis ground. Jensen hu's are wierd in the fact that they require a "pulse" signal. You have to trigger it on/off/on. The toggle switch acts as the "parking brake". So flip it on for a second, off for a second, and back on and the video should turn on and the blue screen should go away within a few second. I did it this way so I could still switch the video "off" if I happened to get pulled over. Now, the easy way to do it. If you have the remote, press setup. Once the setup menu comes up, press the numbers 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 in that order. A hidden factory setup menu should come up with the hu's info, firmware and model numers. You will see a lil hammer and wrench icon. Press it, then you will see a list of options including "Brake override". Turn it on, I think. Just turn it to the opposite of what it is now. By doing this, you completely override the need for the pink wire. You can leave it disconnected or ground it. Now, you hu will play a dvd no matter what the vehicle is doing. But, keep in mind, that if you get pulled over and the cops find that you have the Brake Override on, you can get in a bit of trouble, and a fine, I think. [/QUOTE]
