Default 2018 f150 JVC kw-m750bt install with idatalink maestro

I was installing this jvc radio but when I plug up the battery the instrument cluster has all of the lights on and the gauges going crazy and says something about parking brake error. The radio itself works and so does the backup camera. When I was doing the wiring I didn't use the yellow/brown wire, pink, blue, or brown. The light green e brake wire I wired to the light green on the radio. What am I missing? And which wires should I be using on the maestro box?

Heres some pictures of how i have it wired, 2 wires that weren't used so I don't know if they need to be used, and what the dash is doing.

Call them at 1.866.427.2999. Their tech support is pretty decent and they can walk you through this.

Try disconnecting the green parking brake wire and see what happens

I would check all connections and make sure that you have the Maestro box firmware updated and configured correctly.
