Rather than grounding the parking brake wire, have you considered using
a toggle switch to ground instead? Doing this will fix many of the
parking brake issues unless the unit has GPS and uses the NAV to detect
speed.

Lastly, if you don't want to completely bypass the parking brake feature
with the toggle switch, make sure you use a diode, otherwise your dash
light will come on when you flip the toggle switch.
