I purchased a 2008 srt8 challenger in oranger with 7000 miles. 5264 of 6400 made. Vladimir ducasse was the previous owner . Bench player from the NY jets. the problem is my service appointment is tuesday morning. The major problem is while I was driving on the pioneer radio screen it said system error detected improper brake LEAD. and there and awfull burning smell.......It smells like brakes or burning rubber can anyone help.

Just an educated guess here. I think the lead that goes from the Pioneer radio to the parking brake switch is probably hooked up to some other hot wire. That lead keeps the DVD from being used when the car is in motion. It's a safety feature. I would cut the radio off until you get it checked out. This shoul have actually showed up when you test drove.

Good Luck!

Yeah, I'd suggest you pull the fuse to the radio and see if the smell stops.
