I need help....I think its the power source maybe its not strong enough.

1. When I turn my monitor on after a while it shuts off. The power source is what use to power the light in my sunvisor. Maybe its not strong enough.

2. Also I hooked my xbox rcas to my head unit and this gives me feed back like when I step on the gas I hear like a whistling noise thru my speakers. Some body please help me. Thank you

Use a multi meter to verify that your sunvisor is getting a steady 12volts. A fluctuation in voltage may be causing your monitor to power off. Try using an RCA filter to eliminate the engine noise.

If it doesn't fit.......make it fit.

hey , your visor light was prolly made to shut off after so long of being on, incase you left it open when you leave the car. Try a different power source, problem should be solved.
