First of all, don't buy this unit with the intention of allowing the viewing of DVDs while you are driving. This is illegal and insane (and I'm not just saying that as a legal disclaimer; moving video in the front seat is inevitably going to pull the driver's eyes from the road) so I'm not endorsing that.

That said, I highly recommend this product to make your life easier when installing a new stereo. My Alpine INA-W900BT is a great head unit, but when it comes to hooking up the foot and hand brake wiring, it is a bit of a pain. I am no car stereo guru by any stretch but drilling a hole in my firewall to route a brake detection wire? NO THANK YOU.

Not a whole lot else to say; this item simply does what it is supposed to do. Your head unit will think that the brake is always on, letting you access any functions you need to. In my case, I will be picking up another one for my other car as it is really annoying that my wife can't program the GPS while I am driving. Until the car manufacturers start adding some sort of passenger-detection override, items like this will be sorely necessary.

Very easy to install and use. I used it for alpine video bypass for my, uhhh, "boat or RV". Comes preset to use for this function so all you have to do is hook up the wires. The only reason it's not a 5 star is that the video resets every time I restart my vehicle. That could be the head unit though.

I used this to bypass the foot brake and parking brake signals for an Alpine INA-W900BT. Without this device, the only way to access the main setup menu is to set the parking brake, press down the foot brake and while holding the brake pedal down, release the parking brake and set it again, then release the foot brake. Seriously? That's insane. Wire this thingy in and you can access the setup menu any time. Perfect!

Excellent product. It comes pre-programmed for the brake by pass of Alpine in dash dvd players, and this program works also for Clarion(as well as others im sure)with out needing further programming.. i used the blue wire only, not the white, (the blue is a 12 volt signal the white a negative).
The instructions were easy to follow and straight forward.

Great little unit, does exactly what it says. Comes pre-configured for the Alpine units and was super easy to install. Must have device to bypass the parking/footbrake requirements of the Alpine units.

You can't go wrong with this Item. I bought it for the new Alpine iXA-W404 and was installed in less than 7 Minutes.

I recently purchased a new Alpine in-dash receiver with DVD player. I have no intention of watching a DVD while driving, but the difficulty of hooking up the two brake interconnects in my car had me looking for an alternative.

Enter the PAC TR7. Very simple hook-up, works perfectly, and eliminates the wierd conniptions Alpine requires to get the DVD player to work even with the brakes connected. Well worth the cost and will buy another in the future for any installation that requires brake interconnects.

Purchased the TR-7 for use with Alpine ixa-w407 to bypass the head unit's "safeguard" to only allow setup configurations and iPod video when parked. The TR-7 works perfectly with the w407. All setup windows and iPod video are accessible all the time now. Instructions look a little intimidating at first, but then became much easier when I realized the until was pre-programmed with the Alpine video bypass. The TR-7 is a MUST HAVE if you have an Alpine head units that has restricted functions when not in Park.

I bought this product to watch video on my Alpine IVA-W505 when the vehicle is in motion. It was easy to install and came preprogramed for this task. It can also be programed to do about a million other tasks. Programing other tasks is easy with the included instructions.

I got this for a Clarion navagation/DVD/bluetooth Car stereo. It was a real pain to pull the brake twice to be able to place a call on the bluetooth or enter an address for the navagation, or play a movie. This device can do it from either a single action (like pulling the brake on once)or just disable the restrictions all together. Also Ideal for an install in a camper or boat, it works perfectly and is very easy to install. Much prefered to the toggle switch method! It can also perform many other operations with it's programability.
