New Dvd Tv Unit

[Damo_c]

I just bought a dvd tv head unit for my r33, prob is that i cant see any visual on the screen but can hear it. I heard ages ago this can happen cos the bropwn wire being the handbrake wire is not connected to ground, would this be true? It says on the screen that i cant view this function whilst driving, the thing is im just sitting in the car with the ign on.

Should i ground the brown wire?

check your user manual for the correct wire first,but yes that would be the reason why your not getting any picture.

ive got the pioneer fold out one and all i did was connect the "handbrake" wire to the black ground. mine works fine and ive never seen that warning pop up. give it a go and see wat happens

why dont people pay the $70 to get it installed by a pro? at least that way ur covered by warrenty if something goes on.. I can understand learning to do it urself and what not... but u pay how much for the deck, do u really want somethin to go wrong in a couple of months and then not be able to get it fixed?

My 2cents

FIGJAM thats exactly my view on that situation lolz u pay these ridiculous amounts of money for these crazy tv head units and then u go and install it urself..... and then oops u f**k something up and there goes ur $1000+ tv deck and ur warranty becuz u dont know how to do it lolz..... all my friends give me shit for paying for it to get done but i learnt the hard way when my mate and my brother fried my very first amp from my first system and i had to pay for the fkn thing to get fixed.... and since then i have always got it done professionally

So im guessing thats the same problem im gonna' face when i finnaly get around to buy the DVD head unit for my car.

Nice heads up.

+1 for professional installation.

But my rule basically is, if its worth over 150 get it done professionally =D

just installed one myself. dont wire it to your handbrake. wire the handbrake wire to a generic earth in the vicinity of the head unit area, all this does is allow the video to play anytime you want other than just when the handbrake is engaged. its a safety feature.
