I helped a friend with his car today with such a device. When you switch the car off the handbrake is automatically applied and this is the problem. You switch it off and you either are lucky enough to have an electronic device to put the handbrake in service mode and wind the pistons back or while it is running unplug the motors so the car cant put the brake on.
The more I see new cars the less I like them.

The wife's 2010 Astra has one but you can switch on the ignition, release the handbrake, switch off again and it stays off so no problem.
My son's 2011 Astra estate had one but on his 2017 replacement they had gone back to a manual handbrake. Not sure if that's true on all models.
