Grounding my microvision, those with screens step in

ok, im not sure whethere this is a problem with my HU, or the screen, but i thought if you grounded the screen anywhere DVDs would play while driving? or is it im suppose to ground it to the parking brake?. i thought i had it right, but when i put a DVD in, it says something like "Driver must not watch movie while car is moving"... ... am i suppose to ground it to the e-brake or something?

also, maybe im just ****, but if i get really close to the screen, it almost looks grainy/fuzzy.. not really that bad, but you can see it. im just trying to determine if its a problem with my setup, or its just me. if its just me, its no big deal.

input appriciated!

edit: also one more thing, i had to grind down the sides a little bit to fit my cd player in the DIN location a long time ago (where the screen now sits)... and theres a big ugly gap now. Anyone else have this problem? im looking everywhere for something to cover it up, something like what goes around radio trim would be good.. i tried looking at weather stripping, but i dont think it will work, unless im looking at the wrong stuff.

Hey! You shouldn't be talking.


Theres a wire coming out of your HU's harness that you need to ground. Should be labeled Parking Brake, or E-Brake
