You can't just ground the E-brake on the Alpine 205...it's a sequence thing with the ebrake and your foot brake. You have to hook them both up....OR you can buy a TR-7. It's made by Pac Parts or Peripheral. You have to just wire it up as they tell you to in the instructions and it allows video in motion WITHOUT having to hookup the ebrake and foot brake. You can find them on Ebay I'm sure. But that is the best bet to get it to work right.

Titazik is right... you can't just ground the ebrake wire on ANY alpine mobile video product since day one they have always been like this. There are ways around it like the PAC tr-7 module, or some people hook up a push button switch to mimic the foot brake and a toggle switch to mimic the ebrake and you have to do the following sequence:
Press and hold foot brake
Raise ebrake
Lower ebrake
Raise ebrake again
Release foot brake
Picture should come up.
In case you didn't know...
Yellow/black wire = foot brake
Yellow/blue wire = ebrake
Also, as a side note some features of the alpine's setup menu are disabled until you do this procedure as well. On some units, navigation features and bluetooth features are limited as well until you complete the procedure.
Hope this helps,
Nick
