I just bought the controller from the PacificAudio. The video mode is on all the time, it's great, no switches, nothing. Too bad they charge 130.00 for it, if you know of anything cheaper that works the same, lmk.

What is this controller? I've heard about this. I just took out my CVA-1000 and today i installed my CVA-1005. I know on the CVA-1000 i had a rear camera converter for things like that. I know i can plug a video game system to it or a VCR. I just got it and i havent really played with it yet. Just curious man, on the 1005, there are 2 wires that tap into the brake and e-brake lines. I got the e-bake tapped in but cant figure out the wire for the brake... b/c i can find em! Any ideas man? I've been doing installs for quite sometime but havent ran into this prob before. With the 1000 all you had to do was ground out the wire but the 1005 is diff. It still plays and all but i cant access all features. Besides... it has those driver safety modes where you cant touch nada till u stop.

The ebrake one goes right to the ebarke, duhh. The other one I first had connected to the 3rd brake light. Basically the process was to step on the brake, lift the ebrake twice and release the foot brake. Then the video mode would go on. People played around with it by grounding the brake cable and running a switch to the ebrake wire. Well, that works, but I decided to spend 130 bucks and get rid off all that. This module has 4 wires, one for ebrake, foot brake, ground, and remote. With that, you don't have to do anything, video mode works all the time.
