John Van Hengel Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I just replaced the aging Kenwood stereo in my 06 Monaco Signature. The PLZ MP-108 works and sounds great. The cameras from the Aladdin system look good, but when I switch to the Aladdin status displays the screens jitter very badly. I tried replacing the RCA video cable from the Aladdin and even swapping ports with the bedroom monitor, which is fine. No change. Has anyone experienced this issue when swapping out the old Kenwood stereo? 20240906_165625.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad A Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Mine does something similar since I switched to the pioneer head unit. Mine resolves itself if I go to camera view then Alladin. It gets jittery coming on after the radio unit is on the screen. I would love to be able to have it fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren A. Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Check for electromagnetic interference near your video cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Van Hengel Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 I replaced the video cable from the Aladdin unit to the new head unit with a new shielded cable but no help. I suspect the problem may be the head unit is rated for 1080p resolution and the status screen is 480. When it stretched the image it loses sync.

John Van Hengel Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 Chad, You may get some useful input from Pioneer support. Unfortunately my unit came from china and has no US phone support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution John Van Hengel Posted September 10 Author Solution Share Posted September 10 Jitter Fixed! Rube Goldberg method. The output of the Aladdin system status screens is old style CRT pixelated characters. I suspected it was old style TV composite video. The new head unit is made for 1080p color video, so I suspected it was having trouble with the old signal. So here is what I did. I took an RCA composite video to HDMI converter and connected it to an HDMI to RCA converter. Basically what I did was convert the signal to from composite video to HDMI and then back to composite video and it works. The resolution is not as sharp, but very workable. And the cameras still work just fine. GINGIN AV to HDMI Converter Dingsun HDMI to RCA Converter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
