Default AVIC-N3 need help on instal

I have been searching this site for 3 weeks trying to find out my questions.

1) With only 2 channels coming from the factory radio to the amp, how should I hook it up?

2) Where is the line for the parking brake? I think I have the line for the speed sensor and backup lights.

do you have a limited or a base model? the wire for the hand brake is just so the system knows you are at a stop so you can watch the dvd player i just put the wire to ground and flipped the switch on the bottom of the unit the switch is a little micro switch under some foil tape. if you do that you can watch movies going down the road.....hope this helps

are you sure that can be done with the n3. i might be thinking the d3 but i could of sworn it had a gyro base nav. which means you cant hook it up to a switch.
