Have a look at the wires on the rear and front speakers - that'll sort them out, leaving the power and earth which I think is red and brown.  Attach the parking brake to the earth - you will be able to watch a DVD whilst moving.  HOWEVER this is illegal so make up your own mind on this. The proper way to connect it to the handbrake.

Look at the iso plug on your car and just match the pin number to the wire colour. :wink:
