wassup,

i am installing a dash mount 5" lcd in my 2002 kia spectra and having problems. i have everything hooked up right that i know of. i also took it to a local car stereo shop and it played the dvd perfeect with a flat screen look when he tested it in the store.

but when i hooked it back up in my car it continues to have an unclear picture and i dont have any clue why. its so unclear that i can only barely see the dvd loga at the begginning of my movie. i have the power hooked to the back of my sony cdx 7850 voiceguide cd player. and my ground is just a regular ground in the dash. can u please help me to save me some$$$$$$$$$$$$. do i need to move the batt or the ground or what do i have to do.

Best is to run them opposite side of the vehicle. Video RCA are very sensitive to power wires and can cause you problems. Another thing to check for is your ground connection is solid, clean & free of paint.
