gday a mate of mine recently bought 2 headrest mounted tv monitors off ebay, he also has one in his dash, one of those electronic fold out versions, anyway the front screen works fine but the 2 in the headrests dont seem to play all songs off sum music video dvds im not sure about wether movie dvds work in the headrest tvs either, but i know the cables are run down underneath the center console, into the headdeck tv, when playing the dvd the headrest monitors will play about 4 secs then flicker a few times then turn off and on again and not play it at all untill you skip to the next song and it only does this for certain songs???? anyideas will be helpful- hes also running two apline type s subs in the boot with two amps(not sure wat type) 2 type s 6x9s, 2 6 inch type s speakers and 2 of those things that distribute the power evenly between speakers and subs cant remember what they are called either lol, but yea any help will b great, if you need more info just ask

the car is a vl commodore, the head unit is alpine and rear monitors are some unknown brand, so if you say the power supply is stuffed how do you fix or is it just a simple replacement of parts and same for capacitor???

cheers

So let me get this right.

You have 2 headrest monitors that are not working correctly??

The Source unit plays every thing correctly?

Are you running the Video signals through a distribution box?

Try running one monitor at a time. with out the distribution box.

I would be checking to make sure that the head rest monitors are set to the correct system (pal/ntsc) for the source unit output.

Cant think of anything else off the top of my head

Good Luck

Simon

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
