sorry for the extremely long post, but here ya go.. taken from, http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?...0&#entry644210
The VM9311 (Phase Linear UV7 also), VM9411, VM9511TS and VM9021TS incorporate a new video inhibit circuit. The Parking Brake Inhibit wire is the same as previous models – PINK. In order for video to be displayed, the pink wire cannot be simply “grounded, a brake (pulse) sequence must be completed before the head unit will display video. These instructions are clearly indicated in each operation manual for each unit, but this paper will explain the procedure for convenience.
Before starting the parking brake sequence, the head unit must be “ON” with video media (i.e. – a disc) inserted and playing. At this point, the blue warning screen with yellow writing will appear. The parking brake sequence can now be started. There are two situations, in which, the parking brake sequence can begin:
ˇ Parking brake is engaged (ON) when the vehicle is started or ACC / IGN is turned ON. To activate video;
o Release parking brake for 1 ~ 2 seconds
o Reapply parking brake
o Video should be displayed on the TFT monitor within 1 ~ 2 seconds. If video is not displayed, then the brake sequence will need to be repeated. The timing window is 1 ~ 2 seconds, if the time is less than or greater than this time, video will not be displayed. Allow 10 seconds between repeated attempts or the video will remain locked out.
ˇ Parking brake is not engaged (OFF) when the vehicle is started or ACC / IGN is turned ON. To activate video;
o Apply parking brake for 1 ~ 2 seconds
o Release parking brake for 1 ~ 2 seconds
o Reapply parking brake
o Video should be displayed on the TFT monitor within 1 ~ 2 seconds. If video is not displayed, then the brake sequence will need to be repeated. Allow 10 seconds between repeated attempts or the video will remain locked out.
Note: Depending on the vehicle, the brake “switch” may engage before the actual brake stops or reaches its end of travel point. This must be taken into consideration when applying the brake sequence. A few attempts may be necessary to familiarize the end-user with his or her vehicle.
--------------------------------------------
and then this:
you can bypass it even if it needs the pulse brake sequence.
power up your jensen, do the break sequence (engange for 5 seconds, off for 5 seconds, then engage) and make the video come up. once you do play a dvd, it HAS to be during the movie, not the previews or menu. after you ahve a dvd playing press stop, stop, 1, 2, 6, 4, on the remote.
youll see a menu that says:
Region Code
Brake Override
Macrovision (Watch all the burned and pirated movies you want if this option is off)
Loader Version
Model Version
set it to:
Region Code: 1
Brake Override ON
Macrovision: OFF
then hit the sys setup button twice to save your settings.
it is some times hard to enter the sequence, you gotta do it fast. some jensens come with 2 remotes, so make sure its the one with the sys button, since you need that to save the settings.
this will work on any model jenson or phase linear indash that requires the pulse ground ebrake.
this really does work, im an installer at circuit city, so ive done it before. oh and btw, it is against the law to watch video while your driving, plus its pretty dangerous. im not to be held responsible!
