I did my own install on my Alpine D300 after only installing a few simple cd players. It is basically the same thing, just that the wires have to be run to the brain in a hideaway location, usuall under the driver or passenger seat. It takes alot more time with seat removal and running all the wires, but is actually a simple job. Good luck

Thanks I didnt know that. Also i heard if just connect the parking brake wire to the ground wire it will override the video from not playing. Is that true? If not does anyone know how?

i thought you had to ground the parking wire?

 

[traksta15 10+ year member]

i believe that model (mines on the way!!) requires a sequence. You have to hook that wire to a toggle switch then ground the toggle switch. There's a certain sequence you have to do in order to get it to play while driving.

Its just like connecting a regular radio. There is no hideaway box for that unit. The only thing that you'll want to do different is connect the reverse wire for a back-up camera. If you don't have one you don't have to worry about it though.

As for the by-pass, look up the Alpine by-pass on Ebay. (PAC-TR7) It works similarly. Its a relay to automatically by-pass the unit.

thanks guys but i found a bypass code that you enter with your remote (no complicated wiring involved) to get picture while driving.

Actally the JENSEN (not Alpine:read VM9311TS does have a hideaway unit for video out, XM hookup, and jlink cable for iPod.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/banghead.gif.8606515f668c74f6de0281deb475b6fd.gif
