No, the Alpine is beyond that. With the key on, you need to engage the e brake, then the foot brake, then let off the e-brake, let off footbrake, and then engage ebrake again or something along those lines.
I'm sure you could work it with diodes, relays, etc, but why not just buy the 25 dollar piece that does it?
