Green Wire

Bought a Kenwood KVT-911 off of eby recently. Basically it is an indash TV/DVD player with a 7 inch screen. I bought it used with everything included.

I have about 12 different hondas so I have done alot of removing and installing radios in and out of cars(no I'm not a thief). I have wired everything up and can't seem to get the unit to turn on. WHen I hit the button to open the dvd player, the red reset light comes on so I know I have power but can't seem to get the player to work. Then I look at all my connections and realize I have one wire not connected. Its a green wire. I've never had to connect a green wire before to install a radio so I look it up and find this. Then I remembered that it is supposably illegal to drive and have a indash dvd player working and that most places wire it up somehow to the emergency brake. Basically the player won't work unless the e-brake is on. I am hoping this is the reason why my player won't work. My question is, how do I hook up the green wire properly. And then how do I hook it up illegally so I can use the player while the car is going. This is what the pic says about the green wire.

I'm not 100% on this, but I think it just needs 12v.

See, this is what I was worried about. SOme other people said it should be grounded. Others say to hook it up to the wire that sends the signal saying my e-brake is on. If thats the case, isn't there some signal going through that wire so it knows to have the light come on. Not sure but I don't want to connect this wire without not knowing what it is supposed to be connected to.

Yeah, I'd just put a male blade connector on the end of it and stick in one of the extra fuse blocks that is on when the car is on or ACC, whichever you'd prefer.

Looks like I am leaning towards grounding it. Got a bunch of responses on other forums suggeting to ground it. Probably safer to ground it first anyway before putting 12v to it.
