Cool Bypassing the parking brake detection for a Kenwood monitor

Can anyone tell me how to bypass the parking brake detection for a KenWood VZ-5000 in dash monitor?. I have only one green wire. I drive a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT. I see the box that comes from the brake but I'm stuck. Need Help

On the one hand, I love helping people connect electronics. On the other hand I hate the idea of being around drivers with monitors visible from the driver's seat.

There is probably only one wire coming off of the parking brake. THe correct wire shows a ground when the brake is on. Try it.

I value your opinion and I will in no way harm myself or my family. I am simply trying to show a movie for my son while I'm driving. Thanks for the info. I will try it.

Brake Detector for truck.

I wasn't able to locate the one wire from the brake. There is a box that is connected to the brake. Which wire would I unhook from the brake. I own a Ford Explorer XLT.
