I did a little searching on here and learned to keep the video cable separate from the power cables.  I also need to run some RCA audios... what can I run these next to without creating any noise in video and/or audio.  thanks!

You can run your cables and check for interfearnce from power or whatever other wires you have.  If your car has power seats, you will want to lay your cables in place and run your monitor before you close the area or ty the wires up.  Try the seat or other power items to make sure it will not interfear with the signal.  You can always move the cables around until you ty or close the work area.  Lyle

In general audio and video cables can be run next to each other with minimal interference.  Both of these types of signal cables, however, should not be located near power cables.  If you have the time and patience there's nothing that'll work better than  trial and error as ldpfeifer suggested above.

Have heated seats ever been a problem with noise?  I was going put the dvd player and "hideaway box" of which power and video plug into right under a front heated seat.  I'll try it out before I permanently lay the lines.  thanks so much
