I just purchases a jensen vm9412 unit and i cannot bypass the brake wire....i was told to just ground it which didnt work and i was also told that there are codeswhich i tried every single one and they didnt work.....is there anyone out there that could help thank you bye

 

I'm assuming it's wire ...We don't sell Jensen and I 'm not positivenormally they either go to ground or 12 volts ... You tried ground / try 12 volts

 

If the unit has a reset button try that.

 

i have tried ground and 12 volts and neither has worked...i have no tried to reset the system i will try that and get back to u all thanx
derek

 

I got it to work....i touched the wire on the brake wire and then took it off and grounded it and it works now....i already grounded it before straight to a ground and it didnt work....but for some reason when i touched it on the brake wire and then to a ground it works fine....thanks all

Derek

 

you might have to install a switch ... some do not like being grounded constant (too easy to defeat) install the switch to ground leave it off then turn switch on to ground it then run the dvd

 

I had to install a switch....i had it direct to a ground and it worked untill i shut my car off and turned it back on.....then it wouldnt work anymore....i installed a switch and have to switch it back and forth a few times and then it works no problem....thanks to all that have given me input....i will have pics soon of the car....i hit a deer a while back and have yet to paint the hood and front bumper....
thanks Derek

 

Have you tried this?

The code is a permanent way of disabling the brake override on the jensen units.


There are two ways of doing this:

Insert the DVD

After the disc loads and plays you will see a blue screen telling you "it is unlawful to drive with a movie blah blah blah"

1)Activate the brake sequence and disable the blue screen using the hand brake, the switch method or anything else to give the unit its three pulses to disable that freakin blue screen.

(What I did was I installed my radio entirely, then took the pink wire and touched for two seconds, removed for two seconds and then touched and held the negative pole of a mower battery laying on my passenger seat until the screen was no longer blue.)


2) Next, on the main remote press stop twice, then 1, 2, 6, 4.

You will now see a hidden menu that says:

Region Code
Brake Override (I know you're drooling by now)
Macrovision (Watch all the burned and pirated movies you want if this option is off)
Loader Version
Model Version


3) Using the right joystick on the unit, navigate to the options of your choice, click on them to toggle on, off or which region code you want.

This is what you want:

Region Code: 1
Brake Override ON
Macrovision: OFF

When your done, click SYS SETUP on the main remote TWICE to save the settings and bingo, your done!!! Hooray!!! You can now kill your whole family in the car while watching that adult movie while your driving.....


The other way of doing this is by not engaging the parking brake sequence, thus you're inputting the code blindly.

1) Insert the DVD and you'll get the blue screen.

(If you have more than one tv, the unit itself will have the blue screen but the additional tv's you have plugged in will NOT, they will show the dvd menu. Thus you will be able to see the hidden menu on the additional screens after inputting the code, but not on the main unit because of its blue screen.)

2) On the main remote, push stop twice and then 1, 2, 6, 4

3) Push the joystick on the unit SOUTH twice and then click it once.

4) Press SYS SETUP on the main remote twice to save your settings.


It may take a few tries but you'll get it. This method can be done if you don't want to bother temporarily activating the brake sequence, but if you only have the unit and no additional tv's, its #$%^&* damn hardbecause you can't see the settings your changing.


I tried to make this as clear as possible. If you have questions, private message me or post here.

This code DOES work.

Best of Luck!


By the way, this is for informational purposes only and I will not be responsible for anything bad/stupid/ignorant you do with your Jensen unit.

 

That code doesnt work, LISTEN CLOSLY, Im not usually helpfull to anyone and once i figure **** out i shut my mouth, But here is how you do this...



Connect the dam pink wire to the green/white wire. DONE. If you have a reverse camera and you have it hooked into the reverse positive like you usually would, Then you would have pink, green/white and your positive coming from the reverse lights all hooked together. The only thing i noticed, is if your watching a movie and you go into reverse, a flash sayinng the it is unlawfull to watch a movie **** comes on and then the reverse camera. happens so fast you cant even notice.

 

if that doesnt work just wire a switch... thats what i have done on 3 of the DVD hu's that i have installed, yea so what u have a switch but its better to have that switch if a cop comes riding up on u and sees you have ur TV on... BOOM in my state thats a $300 ticket. So yea do what u want but im telling you the switch, although not as custom, is safer and makes it easier to be safe
