Answer 1

The code is a permanent way of disabling the brake override on the jensen units.


There are two ways of doing this:

Insert the DVD

After the disc loads and plays you will see a blue screen telling you "it is unlawful to drive with a movie blah blah blah"

1)Activate the brake sequence and disable the blue screen using the hand brake, the switch method or anything else to give the unit its three pulses to disable that freakin blue screen.

(What I did was I installed my radio entirely, then took the pink wire and touched for two seconds, removed for two seconds and then touched and held the negative pole of a mower battery laying on my passenger seat until the screen was no longer blue.)


2) Next, on the main remote press stop twice, then 1, 2, 6, 4.

You will now see a hidden menu that says:

Region Code
Brake Override (I know you're drooling by now)
Macrovision (Watch all the burned and pirated movies you want if this option is off)
Loader Version
Model Version


3) Using the right joystick on the unit, navigate to the options of your choice, click on them to toggle on, off or which region code you want.

This is what you want:

Region Code: 1
Brake Override ON
Macrovision: OFF

When your done, click SYS SETUP on the main remote TWICE to save the settings and bingo, your done!!! Hooray!!! You can now kill your whole family in the car while watching that adult movie while your driving.....


The other way of doing this is by not engaging the parking brake sequence, thus you're inputting the code blindly.

1) Insert the DVD and you'll get the blue screen.

(If you have more than one tv, the unit itself will have the blue screen but the additional tv's you have plugged in will NOT, they will show the dvd menu. Thus you will be able to see the hidden menu on the additional screens after inputting the code, but not on the main unit because of its blue screen.)

2) On the main remote, push stop twice and then 1, 2, 6, 4

3) Push the joystick on the unit SOUTH twice and then click it once.

4) Press SYS SETUP on the main remote twice to save your settings.


It may take a few tries but you'll get it. This method can be done if you don't want to bother temporarily activating the brake sequence, but if you only have the unit and no additional tv's, its #$%^&* damn hardbecause you can't see the settings your changing.


I tried to make this as clear as possible. If you have questions, private message me or post here.

This code DOES work.

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

Jensen Tv Radio

Answer 3

umm i donno if this is good to tell you since its against the law... but anyways here it is with jensen head units if its installed correctly you will have to push the parking brake down for a second then release it then press it down again then the screen should come on...

if this doesnt work the easiest way to get it to work is to take the parking brake wire from the back of the head unit and run it to a toggle switch then go from the toggle to ground.. when you want to view the video turn the switch on for a second then off for a second then back on... then the screen should bee good to go till you turn the car off.

i used to have a jensen dvdplayer with the monitor and i had this same problem i hope this helps you

you have to do the on,off,on sequence or it wont work

hope you can get it going good luck!!

Answer 5

There is a green wire on the back that is there to connect to the parking brake, due to the fact its illegal to have video in the front of the car during operation. But your installer if he wanted to, could just ground that wire so the video signal could always be obtained. If they did'nt tell you to apply the parking brake for video when you picked up your car, they are complete idiots and probably forgot to hook up the green wire.

Answer 6

Try setting your parking brake. If it was installed correctly, there is a sensor wire connected to your vehicle's parking brake wire.

Answer 7

Your attention should be looking at the road when your driving, not a tv.
