I'm really not sure how to help you do it right as I don't have the DVD function, the safety feature is a PITA. But if it was me, I'd be looking more around the net for the techniques to skip the parking break all together and ground it out so it'll work all the time. At one point I had some links saved on it, but I've lost them since (new computer).

From what I understand this is getting harder to do though, especially if it's a very late model unit.

oh i figured out yesterday how to get all the functions on the dvd player to work without the parking brake on. but the dash light telling my when my parking brake is on or not still hasn't lit up i'm going to try to tinker with it after i clean the horrible mess i made in it yesterday. i'm thinking when i tried to attach the dvd player to it i might have severed it (at least that's the most plausable thought i've had so far)
