That radio has to be a knock off of another model somewhere-I have never heard of it (flea market/eBay special?). It is still hackable.

The only thing I could find on it is one little blurp that is was made around 2004. So most likely, it is going to be just a grounding of the e-brake wire-whatever color that will be.

Just post pics of it (turned on if possible). Also include a pic of the wire harness. I am sure I can figure it out if you provide those pics...

you could always try trial and error, fire it up with each wire stripped down a touch and start grounding wires till the warning goes away. and i'd put a test light or meter on them to make sure you you don't ground something thats a hot wire

Yeah i already read on the wires nothing there.
I also did this. I know which wire it is and i did get the message to go away, but it still doesnt make the movie show!
Maybe i should just take it to best buy with my car. I heard they would install it for like 30 bucks?
If anyone is local and would want to give it a shot be my guest!

it really would help with a model.. like my f900bt i had to move a wire in the harness to a different spot and ground it.. some models say they need a toggle switch.. all kinds of stuff.. need a model number or something..

Sadly... but thats what everyone says...

"well it worked when i used it..." thats how i got conned on the fried alpine flip out.

and got stuck with a valor flipout with a bad dvd player and a fried internal amp..

Thank god for people like to buy broken shit on ebay.. Sold it telling them they are damaged and they sell well
