Handbrake switch?

[geordie]

I know this has prolly been covered but im in the middle of the install and need some quick A's

My new tv/dvd setup requires wires to be hooked to the handbrake switch, if i put these to accessorie instead will it work when im driving (illegal i KNOW!).. am i on the right/wrong track?

Cheers and thanks in advance.

That wire (usually light green) needs to be earthed. Definately not connected to ACC.

Could go off any "GOOD" earth point i take it though BADHABIT, not just the handbrake switch???

its all good i worked it all out. Just earthed with everything else, all runs perfectly. A very successful install if i must say so, but gunna need to swap positions of the air con and the unit, it covers air con and guages when fully open (r32 gtr)....i can handle the guages being blocked, not air con aswell lol

what i did for my tv was ran a switch for the handbrake so if i get caught with it on i just turn the switch off and say i can't run it unless the handbrake's on... :innocent:
