Hey guys, when I installed this, I attached the power to the 12 V+ line that I ran from the battery for my head unit, the turnon power to the 12V+ stock ignition wire, and the ground the the bolt under the headunit (the same one I use for my HU). When I turn off the ignition, the screen will flicker on and off for a while before it turns off.


Thanks in advance for help.

 

You are having the same problem I am man. Try to turn the monitor off, I bet it won't let you, it reads "Ext On" in the right corner. It is flashing because it doesn't have a signal yet, once it gets a signal it will stop flashing. The reason this is a bad thing is b/c the monitor is always on which will shorten the life of the monitor. I hope someone helps us out soon, i need to put my dash back together.

Here is what I did and I have the same problem:
The red wire on the monitor is hooked to Red wire on the stereo (12 Volt constant)
The ground is hooked to ground (also tied into the E-brake wire on HU)
The orange wire on monitor is hooked to the blue remote turn on wire off HU (the same remote turn on for my amps)

 

I just figured it out, don't hook the orange wire to anything, then you can use the remote to power on the monitor. You won't see the flashing anymore b/c the monitor will be off for those first few seconds when you cut on the car. The only wires you need is the red and black, that's all.

 

Can you use your remote when the thing is installed? My dash covers up the remote eye.

 

The remote works on mine, but I have a 3rd gen

 

You need to redo you dash and let the eye be exposed. I did the same thing at first,then I redid it and the eye is exposed. Mine works now
