To watch dvds it says to hook it up to the handbrake and footbrake.

We want to bypass this and wondering if the signal for these wires its a 12v source or ground?

Anyone made a switch to bypass this so you dont need to have the ebrake on to watch dvds etc?

You need a momentary switch to a 12v source for the foot brake and a toggle switch to ground for the e-brake..

They require a sequence... ebrake on - foot brake on - Ebrake off - ebrake on - foot brake off.. ( Atkeast thats how I do it in mine,,
