Do the wires go to the monitor, or does the monitor pick up a signal on it's own? My cig. lighter doesn't work. Is that a problem? Elderly woman

Your cigarette lighter needs to work to power the display. Or u need to run power from the battery or perhaps the stereo. Good luck

Yes wires must go to the monitor. Unit can be wired to a fuse panel. If you have trouble with wiring call the 800 number. They will help and answer any concerns.

Honestly I had the same problem. the wires aren't lined up right. you have them matched incorrectly. hard to know without a diagram. I had someone help me with a lead tester. that helped to at least identify the hot wires. then you just match them up to the right ones on the unit.

Cannot help you, if still under return timeframe, return it. I have two units, one used for three years, one still new in box, even un-opened--was going to sell it so did not want to open the box, but decided to keep it since now discontinued. Your post reminds me--I should take it out of the box and check it. Question--are you sure it is the monitor and not your video card in the computer, or interference from some other device? Check online for like symptoms. Love this monitor. If you can find a fix, and otherwise in good condition, worth fixing yourself.

As far as I can tell you should have no problems, your monitor has a VGA input cord, so it should just be plug and play.

The monitor is attached to a bendable metal arm that plugs into the cigarette lighter. As far as the viewing angle I couldn't tell you. The monitor is unviewable once the camera gets more than a couple of feet away from it. Lots of static. I returned my unit.

Gary, I purchased two (2) of these monitors. They do fit very tight. I just used my thumb and finger to depress the two (2) silver tabs on the side to get them started and they went right in. I have noticed that some of the cigar lighter outlets have slits in the sides (used to release the lighter when it gets hot) which causes some plugs to hang up. If yours have these slits, turn the plug so the side contacts are on the smooth part. As a note, make sure the center contact at the bottom of the socket is clean.

This problem normally occurs if u connect it to a gps screen with a video input which is powered by a cigarette power socket. If that's the case, u have to change the power socket wires to thicker ones.

Dont know, sorry. Have you tried unplugging it and restarting. Sounds like wiring problem

It must be defective if you have it plugged into a working USB port and the ports on the monitor won't work. I've had mine quite a while and use the USB ports daily with no issues

That sounds like a short in the line somewhere. Occasionally mine does this as well, and has since it arrived, and I have not been able to remedy the situation. After researching it, I found both should work evenly all the time and this is a problem. Sounds like we need new wires.

Vincent, I have been trying to get someone to hook it up for me. I had the wires run when I built the house a few months ago. When i got the unit, one of the monitor screen was pushed back, I don't think the quality is very good. Or at least their QC. Sorry this doesn't answer your question. I may try to sell mine off because I don't feel that they will back it up with a warranty. I guess we get what we pay for.

Have you swapped the wires on the other monitor and the other one works? Then its the monitor itself. If the one that was working doesn't work, then you have a bad connection.

That hasn't happened to me, but I assume it's either something wrong with the display unit, which has all the circuitry behind it, or there is something wrong with the wiring that's going out to the external sensor. Check to see the wiring and connections at both ends are good to rule out the easy fix of just reconnecting everything well.

Connect it to a switched circuit like your radio feed. The cig outlet is switched in European cars and some Asian models too, but generally not switched in US manufacturer's models.

I am sorry that I can not be of help, I have not noticed the flickering with mine in my setup. As others have suggested it may be defective and you may want to return it or exchange it.

Hi Jeff. Did you double check your connections at the sensor? A typical setup should be --1. Constant (+) power wire goes to the 'L' terminal. 2. 'Both' (-) wires from your power source and your device go to the 'N' terminal. 3. Finally, the (+) wire from your device goes to the 'LOAD' terminal. Also, try to adjust the sensitivity/light adjustment on the device while it's powered off. Then apply power. Hope this helps. Dave

Truthfully Im 100% sure what the issue is with your monitor it is the 27" correct,and when you talk about start you mean when the computer starts up rite?? Well I know for sure my monitor {when I sleep or turn off the computer a red led starts to blink on the lower rite of the computer} that lets you know the monitor is working normal...also try different cables I run mine mostly on HDMI hope that helps I haven't ran in to this issue as of yet lol.
