Pioneer AVH-P4900DVD into a store display?

I'm trying to figure out a way to set up a Pioneer in-dash dvd player in a display so that customers can try out the dvd features in the store. I know that with the earlier models, you could just ground the parking brake wire along with the head unit, but it seems that Pioneer is getting more creative. According to the manual, in order to play a dvd, you have to apply, release and reapply the parking brake. So, for display purposes, would it be possible to just put a toggle switch between the ground and parking brake wire, and flip it a couple of times before putting in a dvd?

    You could get really creative and use a timed latching relay circuit with a DPDT switch that activates the timer AND supplies the first pulse. The relay would provide the second pulse and latch.

    I could draw up a schematic if you'd like.

    Oh, by the way, you answered, "Ok, there is no way that you're going to fit two 12' subs into any normal passenger vehicle. " to a previous question....

    These http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/... are in the trunk of a Honda Civic EX coupe and I still have room for my floor jack, jack stands and tool boxes. I do my own brake jobs and oils changes.
