Where is the Parking Brake Switch?

the parking brake is a lever in the center console (you pull it up to engage) the should be a signal wire @ the base ( this should go to ground when engaged)

Oh okay I am not in the car at the moment. But I know what you are referring to now. Is the parking switch visible without removing anything?

I might do it like this. One question though, you said if the relay fails all you lose is your bypass. Wouldn't you also lose all ability to watch movies until you replace the bypass or install the parking switch wire as it is intended for.

yes but a relay failure under these operating conditions is extremely rare and if you lose ur ability watch movies just replace the relay

That's the way to do it. If I remove the plastic trim around the gear shifter, will I see the parking brake wires, or does the include removing another piece?

Hey so while reading the manual it saids I have to put the E-brake on 3 times to activate the safety function on the head unit. Will a relay still work for this? Or will I have to use a toggle switch?

I would prefer a relay. Do you know the answer to my question?
