OK. Long story short. I had the viper 791 alarmed installed today at best buy and the installer accidentally pulled out two cables from the fuse box? They're green and purple wires that are pretty long and loose from any of the other wiring behind there. I BELIEVE these are the wires and randode specified to cut (green) and add a switch to (purple). Anyways, he didn't know how to put them back so he left it. Everything still works, but shouldn't I be able to watch dvds and type in addresses and whatnot while driving? Didn't he accidentally do randode's bypass? Oh yea, since all that was done i told him to ground the red wire already so i AM able to watch dvd's with the ebrake off. So umm...HELP.
sorry it wasn't that short of a story

UPDATE: I tapped into power from the other one, so they both light up when my parking lights are on. I did have to bust out the dremel in order to flip it so that the "arrow" is pointing towards the passenger side (so the slope of the button matches)

sorry to keep on bugging you guys but I still don't know what to do about those cables. I checked that manual from trdsparks and all it says it that it is not necessary to plug in the purple cable. I am still not able to watch or type while driving

you guys are looking at the wrong purple wire. the one you found is disconnected from the factory.
the wire you want is plugged into the back of the nav.
its the thin purple wire in a plug with a bunch of other wires.
this is the purple wire to cut and add the switch into.

Sorry if this is a repeat question....
Not sure how many people played enough with their stereo before hacking it... do these fixes for the DVD and Nav system lock out also correct the MP3 CD Navigation lockout when you start driving?
That's what's been ____ing me off. It's kind of neat that you can navigate through the mp3 folders similar to the computer. Move up a folder, etc... but when you're driving you can't scroll the folder list. You get the first 4 (or whatever set you ended up on last.... so if you want a new folder while driving you just have to keep jumping tracks till you get it.
Looks to be tied in with speed, so i guess the GPS fix is going to be the same fix for this (the switch).
so far highly impressed with everything except the 'safety features'

So me and my buddy are trying to do this mod to his new Xb, but we need a little help...
1. Which purple wire do I cut, the one on the left or the right?
2. The green wire that I cut under the dash is the one that is not bundled with others wires correct? I found a single green wire above the fuse panel, im guessing thats the one.
3. Once I cut the correct purple wire, What prong do I solder the wire too?

Thanks guys
