Bypassing Safety Feature: In-dash

[Fitzy]

Wouldn't really call it advancements considering that the Alpines have been this way for years now.

Alpine sucks for this what it needs to see is

1. 12 volts from footbrake
2. ground from park brake, ground removed, ground again
3. 12 volts removed

I have mine thru toggles (already built into the dash), I will have to look at the E-bay deal to see if that would work, I doubt it though...

Actually it is much easier to get around Alpine's safety feature than some other brands. I know Pioneer has a certain model or models that you can't do anything to make it play video while driving. With the Alpine, all you have to do is buy this magical little module and hook it up to a few wires. Like I said, I have one that I use every day in my own vehicle, and it works perfectly.

Just looked it up, your right it would work. I couldn't find any time delay relays in 12 volts. This one is a programmable processor, pretty kewl..

The instructions for this thing look ridiculously confusing, until you find the part at the bottom of one of the pages that says "for alpine......." and it tells you exactly what to do, it's awesome.

I did the same and I don't own a "Jensen".

I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones.
