[QUOTE="Dale Carter, post: 535410, member: 59785"] My nav system requires that I wire the parking brake lock out to the "+" side of the park brake switch. The Trac only has one wire on the park brake and that is the ground for the switch circuit. Anyone know where I can tap the "+" side of the parking brake switch circuit? Also, the Pioneer AVIC-N1 could be fooled by simply going to ground with that connection, the AVIC-N2 is smarter than that and apparently reads the current drain of the park brake circuit when it is engaged. It also uses the GPS to sense if the vehicle is moving, so grounding the circuit won't work. Please no flames about watching DVD's while driving, I have no interest in that, but I can't get the majority of my nav features to work without this wire. [/QUOTE]
