I have just put a Alpine IVA-W200 into a 2002 Ranger. after some light dremmel work I got the unit in and wired everything up.
I ran both of the yellow wires from the main harness (Park light & Brake light) to a common toggle switch, and then grounded the other side of the switch. and everything worked 100% until the truck was turned off. then there is no video.
If I unhook the toggle switches ground, and re-ground it everything will work fine again until the truck is turned off and back off.
My toggle switch works fine after I re ground it every time.

Alpine redesigned the video lockout a few years ago...one wire must see 12volts...the other ground..and after a sequence of 12v and ground..the video feed will appear. Andy provided a good lead...just be smart about it okay.

A friend of mine that works at an Alpine dealer told me to just ground both wires trough a toggle switch, even though the wiring diagram shows one of them going to the E-brake light (-) wire, which would become 12V+ when the brakes are hit. and the other to the brake lights. Ithink I have that right, I don't have the diagram in front of me right now.
BUT If I ground both wires everything works properly the video plays no problem. It's when I throw a toggle switch in the mix things stop working.
Thanks for the help guys

Periphal makes a automatic switching device (ptr7) just like the Pac piece. The peripal piece comes programmed for the alpine screens, so just wire it up and its ready to go.
