Winner winner chicken dinner! Just to let you know (in case you get pulled over) if the video screen is in the drivers view and there is a movie playing it is an additional ticket.

The ground has to be toggled after powering up which means it has to be hooked up to a switch, or done with a relay so it does it automatically like this.

I could be wrong. I have had 3 DVD players and all of them just needed to be grounded.

Same here, buy I am no professional. The key is to buy a factory connector to wire in to the head unit. It will make your task alot easier.

Yeah, the Pioneers are weird. My Kenwood just needed to be grounded.

you can take a basic auto relay ( 30 or 40 amp ) and do this configuration" pin 30 goes to your green parking brake wire from the radio. pins 87 & 86 goto ground pin 85 goes to your blue/white wire ( amp turn on )

On my Pioneer I took the green parking brake wire, ran it to a toggle switch on top of the pocket under the AC controls, and then to a ground. When I want to play something, I just reach in the pocket, flip the switch off then back on, and it works.

Gotta use a toggle on the 3200s the avics can be fooled by the mute wire but you don't have that option on the 3200. You can also use a tr4
