Hello, I am installing a new deck in my Ford Mustang. I've connected all the power, ground, remote, and illumination wires. I have not connected the parking break wire. Is it necessary to connect the parking break wire for the unit to power up? It's not powering up, even after resetting the unit.
No, you do not need to connect the parking break wire for the unit to be powered. My radio worked when the parking break wire wasn't attached, but you cannot watch video's or use USB without attaching it to something... you can bypass the parking break to a switch if you like.

Try grounding the parking brake wire instead of attaching it. Should bypass brake requirement for video but really should effect powering on
