My microvision monitor came today and I have a slight problem after the install, I can't power it off???? When I press the power button, it reads "Ext On" in the upper right corner and it will never let me turn it off. I have a panasonic in dash DVD player and I have had this hooked up to a LCD monitor before and I didn't have this problem (I didn't do that install though so I could be doing something wrong).
If I turn off the DVD player the screen just flashes constantly b/c it doesn't have a signal. Here is what I did.

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)

What am I doing wrong? Should the orange wire be hooked to yellow (ACC wire on the HU)??? The directions are severly lacking that come with the monitor, actually their documentation is a joke, it consists of one page with no troubleshooting secion.

 

Nevermind, I figured out my own problem. I should NOT have hooked up the oragne wire, only power and ground then the remote works.

 

ever since summer, i've been using a toggle switch to turn the screen on and off. I had it hooked to the orange wire. you just made things a lot easier for me

 

put it on a switch
