you should bypass your parking break wire by connecting it to your cars body ground

hey stop being selfish and tell us how is done,mine is locked

check you fuse

if you cant find that blue with white strap wire, you can tap the wire coming from your acc to remotely trun on your amplifier. some players dont come with a remote wire for the amplifier and power antenna.ü

Place the pink wire to a ground. Hope this works for you.

I have the same problem with the same head unit except mine is new out of the box. Is this a factory defect or is it something I can fix

use a bigger fuse or a smaller one

You have to use a sequence of the brake, on/off/on, for 3-5 seconds at a time, in order for it to play. Want an easier way? Try this:

This will work with out haveing to do anything to the pink wire just tape it and leave it alone. But the next time you unhook ur battery cable you will have to put the code in again.
Put in DVD
right when the blue screen comes up
hit STOP twice
punch in 1,2,6, and 4
hit DOWN 1 time not 2
hit PLAY/ENTER
**at this point the display became visible and i could now see the menu which made it much easier.
hit DOWN one more time to change macrovision
hit PLAY/ENTER
hit SYS SETUP twice to save and exit menu

I did it on mine and it works perfectly - no more messing with switches and ebrakes:)

someone told me that the intire system was just going out and that there is no way to fix it you have to get a new one

go to a audio local seller and ask them if they have one they should be able to get you one

i am looking for bypass code for a xdvdn8190 can you please help me.

I got the same problem send me a solution?

easiest thing first. check the fuse on the hot wire on the radio harness. next, check to ensure the hot wire is to battery power, and the acc (likely yellow or orange) is attached to a wire that turns on with the ignition. next, check to ensure good ground. all this should take less than 10 minutes.

DVD head units have one extra wire in their wiring harnesses, compared to a standard CD head unit. On my Jensen, it's a peach-colored wire, and is the activation wire for the DVD feature. During the installation, the instructions call for this wire to be tapped into the emergency brake indicator light wire. The reason is this:

The e-brake indicator light is what is called a "ground complete" circuit. That means that the bulb always has power applied, but when you pull the brake, that puts a ground to the wire and completes the circuit, allowing it to illuminate. The head unit sees this ground, and activates the DVD player.

In my Jensen unit, I simply ran this wire to a ground (I used a screw near the fuse box), and I put a switch on the wire, so I could break the ground contact at will. Jensen calls for a procedure to activate DVD playback. In their instructions, they tell you to select DVD from the option menu, and when the "lawyer screen" comes up (the one warning you to park before you watch a movie), you release the e-brake for 3-5 seconds, and then reapply it. To simulate that with the switch I used, I leave the switch closed (activated), and select DVD. Then I flip the switch "off" for 3-5 seconds, and flip it back "on". This tricks the head unit into thinking I put the e-brake off for a few seconds and then put it back on, and the movie will start. Then I can drive away.

Basically, ground the wire that is used for DVD activation, and put a switch inline on it. Then you can break and reapply the ground in whatever manner is required by the manufacturer of your head unit. If there is no off/on sequence with yours, as there is with mine, simply ground the wire to a screw inside the dashboard and you're done.

If you have the VM9410 then there is a way to play dvd's even when you are driving. You must ground out the pink wire in the harness. This allows you to watch dvd's even when driving. good luck!

its easy , I do it all the time . . [email protected]

depends upon your level of expertise. you will probably need a small philips screwdriver. put the screws in a small dish, if need be, take notes of how it goes back together. i have done this type of thing before, just take time and don't strip the screw heads.

YOU CAN CONNECT THE TUNER TO THE AUX. CABLES. AND THEN JUST TURN ON THE TUNER AND SWITCH TO AUX MODE.. GOOD LUCK

check da ground wire
