i have a pioneer AVX-9000R(brain) and 7000(indash) set up in my phoon...
i have had the system running for a few weeks now, and since the first day i've had nothing but problems in trying to get rid of the video distorition i get while the motor is running. When i first installed it was the same thing, so i took the crappy wires i had running to my stock radio harness and rewired my tv power and ground to more stable connections in/near my fuse box... well, this didn't help, and after about a week of driving around dealing with this, i got tired of it... and ran both my power and ground in 14gauge form to the back of my truck(rear mount battery) because i had read that that the brain and monitor would be out of sync with different grounds, well, that did shhh. so weeks later brings me to tonight, and this step, my last. I tried 2 different noise filters from the back of old/parts radios i found at a friends house, and still no luck... i'm running out of ideas aside from finding/buying other filters, and that seems kinda pointless right now since neither of the two i tried made any difference at all... and yeah, i tried them both at the connections(pre brain/monitor) and just pre-tv... no luck either way, thanks for any advice, i hope to get this thing working sometime.... it really sucks having music videos look like utter shhh while i'm driving around, not that i stare at them or anything, but the comments form passengers gets me pissy.
Ps: i heard some crap about maybe sparkplugs causing it, and as of last week(s) my truck has a whole new IGN. so that can't be it.... And i was also wondering would having my Battery>15 farad Cap>Car system cause this? the wires are run right off the battery terminal and the cap is before the cars electrical system.

ower wires down passenger side and video wires down drivers side) Audio is not that necessary but can help. Having the ground wire both short and big are good recomendations. I also agree, scrape away to bare metal for the ground and don't use an area of tin... screw it into good heavy metal like the frame (or similar, frame may be overkill but wouldn't hurt any).
