New head unit does not seem to recognize 6spd in reverse
I instaled a IVA W200 Apine Head Unit, the Unit will not go into setup which requires the car to be in reverse with parking brake set, I cannot get the radio into setup which indicates it is not seeing the car in reverse, any ideas I also experienced my first DBS and suppose they are related???
How does the radio know the car is in reverse, is there a wire to the back-up lights? If so, if the car is not running the back-up lights likely won't work on the C6 like most other cars will. Have you tried to enter set-up with the car actually running? Good luck with it.

Not sure does anyone on here know about the IVA W200 Alpine unit
Yes there are two wires, one for the parking brake and one for the FOOT BRAKE, not reverse. Below is the procedure to display a DVD video but it is the same for the setup screens. My personal advice...do what I did and just buy a PAC TR-7. It will simulate the below procedure so that you can always access the menus or play DVD's, just be safe and don't do it while driving

To watch a video source, your vehicle must be parked with the ignition
key in the ACC or ON position. To do this, follow the procedure below:
1. Push the foot brake to bring your vehicle to a complete
stop at a safe location. Engage the parking brake.
2. Keep pushing the foot brake and release the parking
brake once then engage it again.
3. While the parking brake is being engaged the second
time, release the foot brake.
For automatic transmission vehicles, place the transmission lever in
the Park position.
Now, the locking system for the DVD mode operation has been
released. Engaging the parking brake can reactivate the DVD mode, as
long as the car's ignition has not been turned off. It is not necessary to
repeat the above procedure (1 through 3), of To display the DVD mode
screen. Each time the ignition is turned OFF, perform the procedure of To display the DVD mode screen.
If you try to activate the auxiliary device while driving, the display
will show the warning-PICTURE OFF FOR YOUR SAFETY.
