I installed an AV Electronic tuner yesterday, and so far it's been acting up a little. The picture looks ok, but i see lines running in the screen..... they're faint, but they're there. Could this be a problem with the sync wire?

Also, can i not bother installing the red button and just use the remote control to turn the unit on/off instead? it seems to work so far.

 

You can use the remote to turn it on and off but the red button is way easier to get to when a cop pulls up next to you.

HI! can you post some pics of your install? Also did you do the install your self? Can you do a DIY for this install? I am lookin to do a similar instal. Thanks

Russ where did you mount your button? or did you just use one of your switches in the ashtray?

Can anybody else weigh in on the lines appearing in my picture?

g35driver05,
yea i did it myself... it's not TOO difficult, you just have to be ok with ripping apart the interior AND taking cutters to one of the wires coming from the navi unit. the install itself is pretty straightforward... 4 wires just plug inline to the navi screen and the 5th is spliced into that one you have to cut from the unit... then you just splice power off the 12V power outlet conveniently located about 6 inches away and you're GTG. the unit fits perfectly inside the trim panel by the passenger's right foot.

what WAS a real pain was installing the PAC audio interface... getting to the wiring at the back of the radio involves removing about a half dozen interior panels and a bunch of screws (careful not to scratch anything, i put a gouge in my instrument cluster with the Bose unit)

 

I spoke with a guy yesterday that has put a few of those avelectronic units in. He says he always uses noise filters when he installs them. Maybe you can give that a try.

It's in the cupholders next to the e-brake. It's actually where you're supposed to put change on the side closest to the driver.

I was thinking maybe i wasn't getting a good ground and it was causing interference.

JustICE, where does your friend install these filters?

 

bump... anybody else with an AVElectronic unit experience these lines?

 

ok well i think i have narrowed down my problem a little bit....

my picture in navigation mode is fine, so i can't see it being a problem with my sync wire splice or any of the other video wiring.

so, i was thinking, maybe i'm having grounding problems with the unit itself. those that have installed the unit, where did you ground it and is some type of filter/isolator required on the ground wire to filter out this junk on my screen?

thanks guys

 

Are you using a 12v to 120v converter? Thats probably where your noise/interference is coming from. You can try to relocate the converter and run grounds to the casing.

 

yes i am using a 12v-120v power inverter to power the PS2... could that be the problem?

 

Where's ikSardarG when you need him?

 

on second thought, i don't think it's the power inverter.....

the power interter was only added after i started using the PS2, but the lines were there before that.

i bought an automotive noise filter at radio shack and i'll install that and see if it fixes the problem

 

ok installed the 20amp noise filter on the power & ground for the AV Electronic unit and it seems to have cured the problem
