where is the parking brake wire on a ranger

thanks for the vid! not all for just watching movies. some of us have classics that don't have parking brake lights - just cables so need this setup to get to settings! thanks again!

Awesome video. Very detailed and super helpful. You just saved me from possibly frying my unit and maybe even my car. Thanks my man👍

I buy it and is flawless there's no doubt...came today... and now is working...

i get that it's a safety feature but when you're trying to install one of these radios on a car that doesn't have an electrically switched parking brake, it's asinine that you have to buy an accessory for functions that should work out of the box. *ESPECIALLY SETTINGS*

I see that people still watch this video and wanted to say i had the same problem when connecting my pioneer radio in my 2010 Camry. What my friend did for me is, with the center console removed, he looked for a random bolt that the wire could ground to and so we found one, loosened the bolt a bit to get the wire under, and tightened it again HAHA haven’t had a problem since. I must add the parking wire was very long which let us do this (: best of luck everyone

Nicely done, Your intelligence was leaking through and yet, you kept it simple. You would love controls work. I am curious if you have any info on the Alpine Nav uint using GPS and the Parking Brake? And being on the road alot this unit would be nice so the family can watch a movie through the stereo.

Great product worked like a charm. I didn’t need to pull up the center consul to connect to the E brake connecting to the back of the radio was much better and convenient. Thank you for the heads up.

Fantastic video. Now I just need my backup camera to work

Thanks for the video. If I have a foot parking brake, do I need to hook up both yellow wires? I'm not clear if I connect both wires or if it's, one or the other.

I'm doing so currently and for a INE-W960 I only need the three the ground the blue/yellow,and the remote power?

What kind of signal does the radio want on the yellow/blue? Positive or ground and if positive how many volts?

I tried doing this on an ilx-207 and it’s not working any advice?

Has anyone installed this in a 2013 Ford Edge? Does anyone know of anything that might need to be performed differently? How would you know if your car has a brake pedal wire? Great video!! Hooked this up before but couldn’t get it right. Then had to put the OEM radio back in and it sucks!! I’m going to pull this OEM one out and put my Alpine ILX w650 one more time I hope. I need CarPlay back. Lol

is it possibly to short circuit the bypass, I had it installed and it worked fine, then when trying to wire the backup camera (which I can't get to work) the bypass no longer works.

So I have the ix650 by alpine and I purchased a redwolf bypass from Amazon. The bypass has black,red,green and blue. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to go about this. I also have a reverse trigger wire on the unit. Is that supposed to be grounded out? It's been years since I've done a install. Any info would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Trying to install in a custom 1956 Chevy wagon and was getting super frustrated on why I can't access settings, connect Bluetooth etc. Thanks for the video

When I try to access reverse camera features under settings I can not press it due to it being greyed out. Does having one of these installed have the unit thinking the parking brake is applied and greys out the ability to press the reverse camera in the settings?

Any solutions for Uconnect 5 11” like on pacificas and durangos

Oh my god. The one I got had the blue yellow wire a ground black green and the blue remote. I thought the green for some dumb reason hooked up to yellow power. I hooked it up. Plugged the fuse in and realized my amps were on all the time even with the keys out and radio off. I just pulled it out not to do any damage. Now that I know the green wire is left alone. I’m gonna try putting it back in so I can freaking adjust the sound settings.

I just bought ILXW650 does it actually play video can I mirror my phone onto the screen? I have a s21+ running android auto through USB input I accidently bought a parking brake bypass for a pioneer stereo can I use it on my alpine if it is just a relay?

My yellow /blue wire goes from the deck to the radio pro ch1a -rsx (the steering wheel controls). Would I need to keep that line connected to that control box?

Awesome video. Question? I have the RP4.2-TY11 radio replacement and SWC interface already connected to the radio harness. I understand that the by-pass blue/yellow wire connects directly to the blue/yellow on the radio harness. The blue/white wire I have a question on. Since radio harness is connected to the radio replacement & SWC interface should I snip the blue/white wire and connect directly to the bypass blue/white wire (as shown on the video) or should I just tie-in the bypass blue/white wire to the blue/white wire on the radio harness. In other words keep the blue/white bypass, radio harness and radio interface all connected? Hope I didn’t confuse you :-/

@@adamlaforce3681 I'd like to know as well. Logic for me is you want to do it right before the radio. Since you have a ground and remote wire (blue/white) inline with the harness they will work regardless of location. And you wire in the yellow/blue, not inline, just into the radio to fool the radio. The relay should start up with the remote wire receiving power and send the ground to the yellow/blue wire. The problem is I don't know if the Maestro RR has any part to play in any of this. Like if the Maestro doesn't sense the yellow/blue wire inline to the radio, what happens? I may try to wire mine with the yellow/blue still inline. At least that way if the relay doesn't work, I'd still be able to use the parking brake to engage the settings menu as a backup operation.

On a non-Alpine unit, wouldn't you just have to connect the parking brake wire from the radio harness to the Ground (Black) connections on the radio and factory adapter wiring harnesses to bypass the parking brake?
