Most however use the ground signal from the E-brake indicator lamp to allow the TV to turn on, or at least, my Alpine and Pioneer was like that. To make it happen, just ground the wire from the TV that goes to the e-brake. If you really lazy like me, trust me I did this once, wire it to the e-brake wiring like your supposed to, take off your center console and look at where the cable connectors to the e-brake handle, loosen it just a little, so that when your e-brake is up just one click, the light on the dash comes on, but the e-brake doesnt actually engage. I had to do that to get out of a ticket for driving around with the TV on, I just showed the cop that it went off when the e-brake was down and he let me go.
