Don't pay for it....Just read it:


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.



This code DOES work.

Best of Luck!

I am an electronics isntaller.... normally we just ground the wire with a toggle switch. put in a dvd flip the switch from the off to on position and bam! you have it. We dont sell jensen units, but we install them all the time for customers. I will have to remember this and wow all the guys I work with.

we sell the jensen piece at my place, and everyone we've sold has been returned, personally the picture quality is horrible, the cool thing about it they supply the ipod cable with it, but i would never buy one, the by pass of the parking break was told to me by the jensen rep when we first got them and i told him how much of a pain in the ass it was to demo the unit but really nobody should be doing this, i put them on a toggle switch so if a cop pulls u over u can flip the switch real quick and save a ticket

thats weird.... we have sold and installed these suckers and there aint that bad... i mean if you want quality then you got to put yourself in the pioneer price range. we sell these for $389. pioneers start out around $589 savings of $200 bux and to the kids thats all that matters.

well you have a point about cops and if there bad in your area i wouldn't reccommend doing this either. but there not that bad around here. not like it used to be. and i dont install this method either because then it would be againt mecp qualifications.

this method is just a good trick for you guys who sell this piece so you dont have to mount a "park brake" switch on your display boards. i agree with ipods. they are junk overated mp3 players.....
