I have a jenson in dash dvd player and want to watch movies when i drive. I thought i had to hooked up right but i guess not. I hooked it to the parking brake sensor and it played movies when i drove, till one day it told me to apply the P brake. Well i looked in the book that came with the unit and i tried all that it has to offer and nothing wont play. The unit goes in my 04 dodge dakota. Wtf am i doing wrong? And i am sure i forgot to tell you something because i am pissed right now so ask any questions.

Take the Parking brake wire and hook it to the Ground..  It will always think the parking break is on :thumbs:  Thats the way my Eclipse In Dash is hooked up :grin_nod:

Just go to autozone and get a switch. Attach the p-brake wire from the dvd player to one end and ground the other with anoter piece of wire. The dvd player thinks the switch is the p-brake so you can just turn the switch on and off instead of using the p-brake. :thumbs:

That is how mine is and it works perfect   Read your manual see if there is a sequence you have to do  Mine when I start a DVD I have switch on then shut it off for 5 seconds and turn on again and it works fine

This is true. I have to turn mine on-off-on for it to work.

when we did the one in our truck we had it all hooked up and on a switch that you have to turn on, off, then on again so it works, just something to think about b4 you get frustrated haha

for a trick setup, you can get a relay box on the net that does everything for you, its about 30$ i think.  i tried to build one once but it was just too fast for my alpine.  so i spent 30$ :thumbs:
