anyone local in so cal wanna come help me with my friggin stereo install for a couple of beers?

 

Well you know I can tear the center out quickly

 

rofl...i know that. but sooo many wires scare me

 

Save it for the wrench meet it's only a week away.Did you get the wiring harness and antenna adaptor?

 

i got them with the scosche kit only. i have 75% of the wires...wired together. it's just this whole video bypass deal that is throwing me for a loop. the whol e-brake shindig and such

 

Your talking about the interseptor that makes sure the e brake is up to play movies? If I rember right you can ground them out and take care of that. I think thats how we did it on my friends rex. Hmm ill try to rember.

 

Brake wire just need to see ground. Wire it to a on/off switch and you will be fine.Oh snap, I actually thought the meet at your house is a week away but it's 2 weeks out.

 

yeah, i have this whole bypass switch deal. it's programmable. i am about to just install the damn thing minus the bypass.....i am not sure how many movies i will be watching while driving

 

dan what model alpine you haVE?

 

iva-w205 is the model number

 

Alpine is not just ground to park brake. You also need to hook it up to the foot brake. You must press and hold down the brake pedal. Engage the park brake, disengage the park brake, engage it again and let go of the foot brake.

Alpine is the only manufacturer that is this retarded.

Hook up your brake pedal switch properly and buy a little toggle switch that you can hide, but access if you get pulled over. and use the toggle in place of your park brake(hand brake).

Since your in the US I'll tame a Michelob, and it better be cold when I get it.

 

haha damn Dan, you shoulda came over yesterday.... Did mine pretty fast!

 

more specifically your yellow black wire to foot brake, or to a toggle switch with +12V on the other end, and your yellow/blue wire to the toggle switch with -12V (ground) or to the handbrake.

Go Alpine rediculousness

 

so do you recommend i use a toggle as opposed to the module i have? or use the toggle in-line with the module. I should really get you the model number of my module before continuing with the moronic questions

 

yes, yes i should have. i sat in my garage drinking all day crimping one wire every 5 minutes Just so i didnt run out of anything to do

 

lol. Thats how i was the other night until i realized i was missing my antenna adapter lol.

 

you bought an ebay bypass module for it

 

Not sure if it is. I bought the stereo package from a member here. came with the stereo, wiring harness, antenna adapter, bypass deal and ipod hook up.

but it probably is
