Need help to solve a small problem with my RGB interface (TV&NAV2GO) installation. The shop that installed it for me were not able to find any power supply line that allows the monitor to work when the ignition key is turned off in the first position. They say that the interface doesn't allow any image pass through to the monitor if it's not powered and they didn't find any suitable, timer-controlled, power supply line in the glove box area. That means I'm not able to watch any DVD if the engine is switched off. Any suggestion? Thanks for your help.

There are multiple solutions:
1. Power source connected to navwithtv via relay triggered by amp's remote on signal
2. Grab power supplying to i-Drive screen
Make sure you use 2A fuse for the unit to prevent fire hazard.

You're risking draining your battery. I'm sure it will.

Why don't you connect it to cigarette lighter supply? It turns on when ignition is on? Anyway, it's your choice.

Good luck.
