ya knowing what system you're trying to by-pass will help a lot...if you have an AVIC-D3 all you have to do is move the yellow/black tracer wire into another spot.

Jensen VM9312, see i hooked up the wire for the ebrake to toggle switch, grounded it and gave it a power but there is another wire that is called reverse wire, now in the diagram it shows these two wires, one as a negative and one as a positive so i started to think that they both need to be connected to something and if that is the case where do i connect the reverse wire

reverse wire is for when you put "reverse gear", that is for when you have reverse camera attached..
if you do not have camera, then leave that wire..

Default Re: dvd bypass

without using any toggle switch, ground wire staright to the ground wire..
if this is not work, try this..
simple googling gave me this..

heres the trick to the parking brake bypass procedure:
1. Go into Am/Fm mode
2. Hit "setup" on the remote control
3. Enter 543210 on the remote, listening for the beep for each number entered
4. A new menu will appear. Touch the button that has the hammer/screwdriver on it in the upper left-hand part of the screen
5. Select Brake bypass to "ON" and hit the "X" near the bottom of the screen.
6. Use the unit wisely and above all safely. A ticket is one thing, causing a fatal accident due to negligence is another.

Does this work on all Jenson's? I'll have to try that on mine. I have the switch, and is a major PITA to always flip that on and off.
