I bought the alpine cva-1005 and the in dash DVD player with the brain. and i was wondering if anybody here has installed this or knows how to install these. The question i have have though where do the wires go that say foot brake and hand brake. The rest of the wires are easy but i don't know where these go. And if anybody knows of an online place with wiring diagrams for this let me know.thanks

those "brake" wires are so the unit will not work while the brakes are off...so you cant drive and watch screen at the same time...dont hook em up...just tape em off
Yes, it will still work w/o them hooked up (trust me I know from experience)

yeah, the brake wires just connect to the switch/lever/button that is linked to the parking brake (you can see it when you remove the console around it)
Theyre just there for safety...and hell...who needs that?!
Technically, you have to connect it to be "legal" but again...who needs that?!
have fun w/ it, just dont watch it while driving because you can get a big fine for wreckless driving and other stuff.
