Default Installed Headrest monitor, Image is blurry

Hey guys, well im installing headrest monitors on my GS, and well.. When I hooked everything up, the image is very blurry and it also jumps alot. I have a pioneer d2, and I am just running the video output from there to the monitor. For power on the monitor I am using an acc signal, and well ground of course. My monitor is a powr acoustik. ANy help is greatly appreciated. For some reason I had a similar issue when I installed a backup camera. The image was very jumpy and blurry. Am I missing something here? Thanks

your rca lines are probably split to too many outputs. You need an RCA line amplifier for video signals, or better quality rca lines, or both.

I agree, the output of the AVIC is meant to just power up one monitor. You are feeding two of them, so a video amp would be a good choice.

Unless the headrest monitors has an output so you can daisy chain them and you won't need an amp.
