Making my Pioneer DVD player work w/o parking brake engaged

There are lots of videos on YouTube that show you how to use a relay that will fool the radio into thinking that the parking brake is on, but I found the easiest way is to just ground the parking brake wire and put it on a toggle switch. When you want to watch a movie you just flip the toggle switch.
I have a simple diagram. If you'd like it just PM me.

I'm not sure why but pioneers are slightly different. My Kenwood is the way you describe, I just ground the wire with the other ground for HU and it works fine.

It is about timing. Grounding the wire all the time will not work unless it is a Pioneer model that needs the mute wire pinned to a different spot. Avic411 is good to use for specifics on each model.

Thanks for the replies... What about a stock Nav system can the same be done and if so do you have to get to the back of the nav system wiring itself or can you do it from an easier location. Saw a video seems to be a pain to get to the back of the nav system.
I also have heated seats but hate the butt part heated just want the back to work wonder if that can be done anyone.
