Have you considered installing a power filter or ground loop filter? For example BMW had a large power filter mounted to the wiring harness for the DVD system they sold. Got these photos from Someone else's write-up.

All Jimmy said he did was replace the screen and he said he tested it and it was working perfectly. I had asked him who made the LCD screens he had, which he said were oem, and he said, "some Japanese company," so I didn't get positive verification about the origin of the screen, but it could still be Sharp. I'm having a BMW technician remove and replace the monitor into the dash in a few weeks from now to see if it just a matter of how I placed it in - maybe it's pushing up against some cable that's causing it. Again, there are faint white lines going in a downward direction very fast, which move with the engine signal (they disappear if when I shut off the engine) - they're not even real easy to see, it's just that it wasn't an issue before I had the work done, and I've sunk so much money into this system, I want it to work perfectly..
