Inside the unit there are tweaks for the RGB.. I don't recommend trying to fix it yourself.. I would send the unit back for evaluation..

Silver,
No man, I haven't had a chance to try the filter either. I went on a vacation and drove the car, using V's unit and it worked flawlessly! I just haven't had a chance to do it but I did figure where I'm going to install the filter. Since I get the noise only when I turn on my computer, I'm going to install it on the power line powering the computer and NOT V's converter unit. Hopefully, this will be the right place to put it in my case. Don't know if your lines occur all the time or only if when the DVD player is on? Let me know if you install it and how things turn out.

My lines happen all the time... it just seems more with the DVD player because it changes colors on the screen... and i can still notice it if i look realy carefuly on the white navi screen...
ALSO I noticed something wierd... when i am driving, the lines are there if i let go of the gas.. If i accelerate, then the lines sort of disappear... KEN and JUVE, any idea on where i should install my filter????
thanxx guys

If possible, try to hook up a portable DVD player, or some other battery powered video source. Then see if you have the same lines.
If you see lines still, then V's unit has the problem, and probably needs the filter. If you don't see the interference, then it's the DVD player, so check the ground and put the filter on that.
Good luck!

Ha...that's so weird. I just stumbled into this thread realizing that i'm not the only who is getting those weird jumpy lines across the navi!
To remedy this I bought and just received today, the recent group buy domofnavwithtv had going on last week in Black Market. It's a new unit, similar to this one, which also adds an extra video input for a rear back up camera, which is also on its way. Once I get it installed, next week or so, i can let you know about the lines problem.
Good luck with the filter though guys...hope it works...it's a real pain when you're trying to watch a dvd...i mean...my passengers...and the screen has all these lines jumping across and then loses its color. Not cool Zeus!

those lines have been bugging the crap out of me... in addition to grounding, i've been wanting to try a voltage regulator, which i was almost 90% sure would remedy the problem... never got around to doing it thouugh.

Alright everyone, I've finally finished the install of this filter. For the record, its a Periphal PDF-10 Noise filter, suggested by Elduderino is this thread. I purchased the filter from www.installers.com but you can find it on numerous sites.
Install was very easy, the filter has 3 wires red, blue and black. Red is connected to the 12v source, blue connects to the component 12v input and black is an optional ground wire.
So the results...I'm totally satisfied. You guys can see for yourselves in the linked avi's (do a save as...).
First off, let me explain my video setup real quick. I've got a computer hooked up into Vsokolov's plugnplay navi converter unit to output video to the stock navigation screen.
The first avi is a "before filter" shot showing the deskop of my car computer.
save as 1...
The second is a "before filter" shot of MediaEngine (an mp3 player interface for car applications).
save as 2...
The third is the "after filter" install shot of the same application
save as 3...
So as you guys can see from the 2nd avi especially, I was getting those alternator noise lines but the filter totally cancelled them out. I still have tiny tiny lines but they are no more than what I get when I view the stock navigation interface. So all in all I am totally pleased. Thanks again El
