Default Beat-Sonic MVA 12-L

Guys
I have the Beatsonic set up in my 04 SC with a double din Radio/DVD/Blutooth . When I want the video (DVD movie) on my unit to appear on my NAV screen I have to engage the parking brake and then press the mode button on my steering wheel for it to appear. Does anyone know how to bypass the parking brake so I would only need to press the mode button.

can you play the video on the aftermarket radio with the parking brake off?
if so, you need to do something else to play the video on the upper screen continuously.

Yes I can play the video on the aftermarket all the time (with or without the parking brake). I checked my wiring and it looks right the only issue is seeing the video on the nav screen without putting the parking brake on.
I doubt I will ever use that function but why not have it if its available. When the parking brake is on I can switch video to normal nav screen by using the mode button on the steering wheel. so the beatsonic is wired correctly.
Has anyone did the beatsonic with the parking brake bypass and if so I need help.

Solved the problem. Turns out Beatsonic has a paper called (Appendix C) It is titled Supplemental information to be used with MVA-12L to allow Video in motion on OEM Screen. For 2002-2004 Lexus SC 430 models.
Wish I would have seen this earlier but it explains how to cut a couple wires on the connector coming out of the NAV screen and then grounding one of them. It worked perfect>
