How do i watch movies on my kenwood stereo?

I have a kenwood dnx6140 stereo and cant watch movies on it because i have a manual. Im not sure if there is a way to bypass the saftey feature or If there is a wire that i missed and would solve the problem. Any ideas?

 

Search YouTube, I'm sure there's a hack around it. I found one for my Pioneer.

 

Get your user install manual, find the parking brake wire, and ground it. Problem solved.

 

I'm not familiar with how Kenwood does there's, and I am not saying this method is incorrect, but that will not work on a Pioneer HU. The power must be on, off, on, if I recall correctly. I just wired in a relay, and it works perfectly.

 

I just grounded the e-brake safety wire from my kenwood's harness and it works great

 

same here on my kenwood. it is an older model 5120

 

Sounds like the OP has his answer. I wish it could have been that simple on mine...

 

Wait. Are you saying you have to turn the stereo on then off then on again to play movies?

 

Ground out the light green wire according to this

Wire in a relay. Pioneer uses a parking brake wire your supposed to wire in, but I cut the wire and stuck a switch on it. Im not sure how kenwood is but if its the same its easy as hell.

 

Thanks for all the help. Im gonna try grounding it.

 

Just crimp the wire that's supposed to connect to your parking brake on to your ground wire. It worked for me on my DNX6980.

 

No, the light green wire needs to have power, then not have power, then have power again. Some install a toggle switch to interrupt the power for a second, but a relay is a slicker "hack", you do nothing but put in a DVD, and your breaking the law....

 

Seems a Kenwood is even easier.

 

Grounding the green wire worked.

 

parking break wire (should be light green) just ground it.. problem solved. good to go... i have a DNX6990HD and thats what i did and i can use navigation while driving or watch movies

 

One more question. Has anyone used a backup camera on this unit or a similar one? If so what camera are u using?

 

Eric,
How do you like your 6990?
I've been looking at that for my 2008.

 

i love it. using the bluetooth feature for music (iPhone) it does not bring up a list of the songs on the h/u (at least i have not figured out how to do so)
the initial start up speed is a bit slow but overall id give it a 9 out of 10... only real reason being is that i would have rather had a full 7" screen to be able to tilt it so the sun does not make a glare.

but if you have stock speakers.. it will extremely enhance the sound quality
