Was gonna buy the ddx719 but the guy gave me a deal on this one

is there any updated videos/pictures on how to install this thing?

also there is a usb plug on the back of this unit, can i just plug in a usbstick full of music???

Nice. For the USB port, I would bet there is an extension cord that'll plug in to the back that you can route somewhere and then plug in phone media cables or usb sticks. You probably could just plug a usb stick in the back, but I don't think you'll have the room to do that and still anchor the stereo in.

what about the parking brake bypass?

do i just put a spade on the end of the green parking wire and ground it to a piece of metal?

If it's one of the small case usb, it should work fine. If I remember correctly you can pick up a 32gb in the small case

im thinking i might need this but it says in manual for extending the cable if necessary, the cord attch to the unit itself is pretty long

Most come with a three foot cable and thats plenty unless you want to run it up into the middle seat console.

Make sure you don't just ground the parking brake wire. It needs to see changes so put it on a switch. The old gen of monitors it was that easy but the powers that govern made them change it.

well its too late for that. already wired it in with the radio's ground wire.
works good. what is gonna happen?

If it works you're fine. But some models require a little more work to trick it into thinking its grounded.
