Need help with wiring an indash LCD

[mossas]

Hi folks I'm new around here and want to pick your brain. I'm going tobe installing a Pyle PLDINTV7 in-dash LCD/DVD and there is a wire that activates the safety switch not allowing the screen to operate unless the parking brake is engaged. In this case it is a Blk/Wht wire. I need to know how to bypass or trick that wire into allowing the screen to work at all times. Can anyone please lend your advice. thanks,Mike

If this wire is meant to be wired into th parking brake switch wouldn't it require some current.?

You would wire it to the parking break so that when the break is engaged it would see a ground, thus letting the video play. When you release the parking break the ground goes away thus making the video stop playing.

Just ground it so it has a ground at all times.
