hey. i need a little help. i have a 2009 hummer h3 with 11 tv's in it. i have 3 tv's on each of the front door panels, a 1 tv on each of the rear door panels. there's no way to turn the tv's off when the car is on because the sensor in the tv's are not visible to receive remote control signals. anyways, i want to install a switch to turn on/off my tv's in my door panels. any help as far as type of switch to use and what wires to use?

Where are the TVs fed from now? If they are all fed from a common source you just need to install a toggle switch inline with the power feed. If they are wired throughout the vehicle or on seperate wires you'll need to put them either on one common feed or use relays to interupt the seperate power feeds.

put a switch in between the power wire or between the ground wire

i had the tv's installed by a shop. but they said the tv's are hooked up to the head unit. so does that mean all the positives from each tv connects together first, and then just one main wire connects to the radio rca outputs?
