Default Replacing stereo sets off brake alarm

I am replacing my factory unit with an aftermarket stereo. I pulled the factory out and now the brake light flashes and beeps when I start the car. The light stays flashing. I have not put the new one in yet. Is there something I need to make sure I do when putting in the new one that will fix the brake light, if its related to the Stereo?

thanks

Do you have a backup camera?

I will be adding a backup camera. The wiring harness I got has a lead for the parking brake. But I can't figure out where to connect it.

I know the rear speakers have their own amp and I have to connect them to the line level output, but do they need a remote turn on?

also do you know where the easiest spot is to wire the reverse gear input for the backup camera?

thanks
