Those horizontal line are caused from the power source they or you used when it was installed. You can go to Advance Auto and get a small relay and connect this in to provide the power to your camera. I had the same problem. I took the power from the back up light itself. Looks like it not actually 12 v but a little less and the relay takes care of it..

Are you putting in a DVD in your CCC unit? If you are, this unit will not play DVD's. If you have the CIC then I imagine you wouldn't need the aftermarket unit. I have a CCC and I use my iPod Touch to play movies through my Xcarlink.
