Question:
OK, so I installed my IVA-W200 Alpine 2 DIN unit.I used a Metra harness to hook up to factory. My only problem is that when I hit the brakes my monitor does one of two things:
1. When playing a DVD it cycles to the control screen and then back to the picture.
2. When on any other source (other than video) it flashes to black and then back on.
I am connected only to a video bypass for the brake wires. No brake wires are connected to the truck. All the wires are connected correctly as stated in the instructions.
The video bypass works flawlessly and cycles on in about 10 seconds.
Bypass unit is grounded directly to the chasis.
I have been troubleshooting and unhooked the bypass altogether and unhooked all of my accessories: monitors, sirius, video amp, BU camera.
The only thing hooked up is the Alpine HU and I still get a pause on the screen when I hit the brakes.
I am at a loss. I don't know what else to check?
Answers:
Remember by law video is NOT allowed to be on while your car is in motion, it is only legal if car is in park. Therefore SWIM ("someone who isn't me") must answer your question.
SWIM heard that: Take the wire that goes to your brake pedal and tap it directly into your ground wire, that should bypass the brake pedal.
On JVC KD AVX1, it is the green & black wire but SWIM doesn't do Alpine. So figure out which wire it is and bypass brake.
(from JVC schematic) "parking brake wire" and tap into ground, SWIM is not sure what labels/names Alpine uses for the same wire.
Call Alpine tech support. they won't tell you "how to fix it" but they might tell you what is "causing" the problem.
