It took me a few weeks to finally bypass the e-brake because I couldn't find a good site to tell me how to do it.

But finally I saw a video of how to do it on youtube.

It works with most Jensen models, what you do first is:
1. Go to the language menu on your in-dash.
2. Then using your remote press 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
3. This will bring you to a hidden menu, you will need to press the second choice which I believe is tools.
4. You will see brake override and it will say off, click the down arrow next to off and choose the option on.
5. You are done! Your in-dash will work without having to set the e-brake.

Remember it is illegal to drive and have a DVD playing so just be smart about that. Well that's it I hope this helped you.

 

do u know how to hook up the dimmer on a jensen in dash dvd the stock wiring harness doesnt have a place to hook it up im wondering if u can put power to it and throw in a switch and do it that way

 

I bought a piece that clips onto the harness for $20 that has all the hook ups. Just go to the auto center and check them out they should have it. Or just get help with one of the employees there.

 

you know how to do that on a pioneer

 

What?

With the dimmer or brake override?

If it's the brake override then go to youtube and type in something like, pioneer in-dash brake override.

I am not familiar to much with pioneer to know that.

 

if im not mistaking i just grounded the ebrake wire...i think

 

yeah just ground the (usually pink) e-brake wire and you will never have to worry about setting the e-brake again!

 

grounding doesnt work on the jensen. but it does work on kenwood. trust me ive been there

 

The clip you are talking about is what is needed to hook up any aftermarket radio in your truck i think. I have never seen a piece that goes into a aftermarket harness to fix that. I may be wrong tho.

 

i have the jensen 3" in dash and i just grounded my e-brake wire and it works perfectly

 

what kind of headunit do you have? it sure worked for me no problem..maybe i just got lucky?

 

Check out ipak. They have a tool for Alpines (there you need to press the brake hit the ebrake and depress the brakes and than repress the brake.) This box does it all automatically at start up and you never have to work. I had a W200 for over a year and it worked every time.

 

correct on some jensen's grounding doesnt work. It doesnt on my vdm9312 but it has a override code u can put in to get around it. Much easier. lol

 

until you have to send it in for service and forget to reset it lol

 

On the Jensen it looks for a seequince... (SP) ... you have to pull the ebrake, put it down then pull it again for it to work.. i used to have a toggel switch for it.. and wold have to flip it on and off a few times to get it.. soo annying.. this is news to me though.. wish it dident get stolen :(
