just wired up dvd player and screen usin aux on the h/u and it works fine until i start the car and then i get a load of interference (whining etc)
I'm using the cig lighter to power it and i kept the power wires and phono leads as far away from each other as i could
Any ideas people?

if it happens with the engine on only then its usually alternator/coil interference.
What engine u got?
In my experience to get rid of it totally you need to redo the grounds on the coil and alternator.
A ground loop isolater on the supply to the dvd player may help.

Two options.

or
http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/2917.html
Both will do the same job.
I suggest trying bare points first tho. I mean cutting off the cig lighter end and wiring directly

I've wired it directly and it's a lot better but still a bit of noise. I'll probably get one of those to try and get rid completely. cheers
