The green wire does nothing!

Hello everyone,

I'm new here.. and am glad I found this forum because it rocks!

Anyway I have bought an indash LCD monitor off ebay and when I went to wire it up (bench test) I found that the green wire that goes to the handbrake does nothing. Whether it is earthed or not the unit still works. I would have thought it shouldn't work if the handbrake is on? Or is the manufacturer just adding a green wire that really does nothing to make it legal to install in cars?

This is the unit I bought

Cheers

I don't know the screen so I can't tell anything about the green wire.

Something else now: I'm looking at the specs and I don't think this screen is VGA. Are you hooking up a computer on it?

It's obviously not VGA, it says RCA inputs and only shows RCA connectors... he never said it was VGA

Did I ever say that he said it was VGA? I was just wondering if he thinks he will have quality issues.
