Where you you guys have your moniters powered and grounded to?

I want to hook mine to my cig lighter so I'll be able to automatically turn the screen and trunk lid camera on when I start the car.

Will this be a problem if I have the screen always on while driving?

I had it hooked to a switch but I'm gutting my interior to paint some panels and change carpet/headliner to black...

 

i wired my old max to the cig lighter, I would install a switch( i had one) for the really cold days as it can be damaging to the liquid crystal screen

 

Did you hook the power to the orange wire? I can't seem to get my idea to work.
