yeah, cause the ebrake switch just connects the wire to a ground... I dunno what putting positive power to the wire would do... probably nothing bad... but a ground is all thats needed.

when i install them for customers at work, i am required to hook it up properly - meaning an in-dash dvd display will not work without the ebrake engaged. they always ask me how to override it, and of course i cannot tell them, but i do tell them that if they bring the e-brake up one click, it will send a ground signal and still not be engaged. they always like that answer

I used to have a Clarion DVD player in my car and can't remember how many times I almost hit another motorist because i'm watching porn:naughty: will driving. Watching while driving is a big no no. You're lucky if you just get a ticket but if you end up in an accident (hopefully not)...... Just think safety first.
