DVD h/u owners
Just purchased a DVD h/u and there's a pink wire that has to be connected to the handbrake for the DVD player to work.
The only problem is you can't play DVDs while the handbrake is on.
I had this problem with a previous 1 a few years ago but got round it but can't remember what I did.
Can anyone help with this one.
Thanks

Is it safe to earth it to the back of the h/u or does it need to be to another earth point.
May sound a daft question but just don't want to damage the h/u
Thanks

The first correct answer tbh
I have a DVD hu in mine and I just wires the cable to an earth point on the internal fuse box, but any earth will be fine

take your h/u out and undo 1 of the little screws at the back strip the sleeve off the wire then wrapp it around the screw and tighten it up
