the battery cable.

cause images to be displayed.
If the temperature of the monitor unit
drops, the screen may appear darker
when power is first turned on due to the
characteristics of a liquid crystal panel.
Wait a while after turning power on for
the temperature to rise. Normal
brightness will return.

not linked to the vehicle's light switch.
