Its illegal to do so. But if you were installing headunit in a golf car with no ebrake you could buy the unit from ebay and all is solved.

Should be pretty simple I would think. Think of the ebrake as a switch. I'm not sure if the wire going to the ebrake would be completing a ground or connecting to power.

Test the wire with the ebrake up and down... if there is no voltage I would think you could just ground that wire?
