Hey i was wondering how or did you disconnect the brake wire from your dvd deck so that it allows you to watch videos while driving?
Also, with the steering wheel control, how did you fix that and did your factory subs worked afterwards?
I didn't disconnect the brake wire for the dvd. What i did was ran the deck's parking brake wire to a 3 terminal switch, ground to ground, hot to hot, then parking brake wire to remote. So instead of doing the BS with the parking brake you can flip the switch and you are able to watch dvd's while in motion... don't watch the screen in motion obviously but it's nice for passengers.

I still haven't hooked up the steering wheel controls yet. i might do it over the summer. The factory sub is just disconnected for now.

Hey, thanks for radio install photos it was a great help... I just completed mine but I'm a bit confused with the Scoshe Antenna Adapter. it has a blue wire attatched and I don't know where this goes... I connected the antenna adapter to Civics antenna plug and then to my Pioneer but FM stations are clear but AM reception is very poor.. Maybe you might have some idea ,,, Cheers
It's been a while since i put the radio in, i do remember something about the AM signal, i forget exactly what i did. I'd have to look. if i do the steering wheel controls, i'll post back and tell you what i did for the AM signal.
