Playing Videos

Post Sun Mar 27, 2005 7:37 pm

Just fitted a screen in my car with a video player in the boot, all working ok apart from when i select the video it just comes up on the screen saying this is not for roads use and only plays back the sound.

Long shot i know but does anyone know how to sort this?

I did think that after i posted TBH

Its a Pioneers AVX-7000 screen using a Avm-7000R processor and the video is a JVC model.

The warning comes up all the time, i know it should do when the car is moving(something to do with the handbrake) but this was deactivated in the car it came out of and all the wiring has been done the same, so i'm a bit confused.

There's usually a wire (normally pink) that runs from the screen unit, down to the handbrake. This wire normally gets connected to GND when the handbrake is pulled up.

I suspect this wire is connected to nothing, and the system therfore thinks you are always driving. Find the wire, connect to GND, and you should be good to go

Cheers,

P.S. Do you still want the heater panel. I have not had anything from Paypal yet.
