Installing the emergency brake wire took a little creativity on my part.
The emergency brake wire is located underneath the emergency brake boot. To remove the boot, squeeze the plastic trim inwards. After a little finagelling it should pop out, allowing you a view of a wire that connects to the E-brake.
Grab a flashlight and shine it into the rear area of the handbrake. You will notice some metal parts that appear to be copper or gold. These metal parts carry enough current to give the Pioneer's E-brake wire a signal.
I knew I needed to attach the wire to the little copper-looking parts inside the e-brake container, but my fingers are way too small to fit down there and soilder the wire...
No problem.
Hide the E-brake wire as best you can, making sure it is threaded through the bottom of the E-brake console.
Strip a foot (yes, 12") off of the end of the Pioneer E-brake wire. Twist the bare wire to give it stiffness. Next, bend the bottom third of the wire into a "J."
Dip your J-shaped wire down into the e-brake container and thread it through one of the copper-looking metal parts. Once you get the wire threaded through a piece of the E-brake metal, you should be able to tie it off on itself. Don't worry about the wire touching anything else and starting a fire. The current is too low and there is nothing else to conduct electricity within the plastic container.
