Use a switched ignition wire as your turn on lead for each monitor. If you want you can wire up a relay so it will be relay isolated from the ignition turn on. Use a SPDT relay and wire up like this:

87 : Fused 12 Volt Constant
30 : Output to all the monitor's turn on lead. This pin out is a 12 volt output
85 : GROUND
86 : 12 volts switched source or remote turn on lead from HU.
87a: NOT USED
