in-dash dvd player

does anybody know how to bypass the "Cant use while driving" feature in in-dash screens? i was thinking to just connect the parking brake wire to the power of the car so it will think that the car is always "parked with parking brake on"...... any suggestions?

parking wire

most after market all in one dvd players need the parking wire to be hooked up to watch all the time. parking wire does not need to be hooked to the parking brake wire, just ground the wire. hope that helps you out......
always double check the wiring diagram
