Car will not detect itself being in park?

[1995E]

Hey guys, I've been having this problem where whenever I try to play video via iPod/AVI plugs, the video won't play. It keeps saying the video will resume when the car is in park but the car is in park/not even started the car yet. ETC. Does anyone know what might cause this? Thanks!

it's possible they are using the parking brake lead? I haven't tested this, but try with the parking brake on?

The parking break is on when I'm doing this.

Just so I know we're on the same page, I'm talking about the foot break, not the transmission brake.

I’m sorry you haven’t been able to enjoy the video function in your Explorer, and I would like to offer my assistance. So I can do this, please send me a private message with your VIN, approximate mileage, and dealer name.

Cory, there are valid uses for A/V viewing while in motion (using an external navigation system, etc). Why is this not allowed on MFT? The system is very limiting, and frustrating.

Sorry for hijacking a thread, but the comment was at least related
