Guys
First of all, thanks for this site, it's great and I have learned alot about my car here.
I was thinking of installing my alpine cva-1006 flip screen in my 02 tl. Went to tweeter and after talking with the guy, I knew I was not going to let him NEAR my car. So I though I'll do it my self (I have experiance with system installs ).
As many of you know, when you install a multi media system, you need to tap into the
1. foot brake lamp
2. parking brake lamp
wires. My question is, where are these 2 wires? how do I identify my them? is there a wiring diagram I can use? Any help would be great. Thanks

 

with most units you would just ground these wires to allow you to use the unit while in motion.. but alpine is a little different... i believe that you will have to buy a special little switch.. they have them on ebay and that will allow you to use the unit while in motion.. if you are not looking for this.. simply trace the wire from the e-brake and tap into it...
