I saw one guy on video doing a setup. Though it was on a single din, he mentioned an Alpine radio needing a dvd in dash receiver parking brake bypass. You cannot just ground the green or whatever color it is on the alpine to the chassis of the radio, like they do on an Kenwood. And you have to start the car ignition first, then hook up the parking break bypass to the ground. This would be on Alpine radios with DVD and receivers to it. So you start the car first, then hook it up on the back. I'm not sure why, but that's the correct procedures to do a bypass on Alpine radios.​
