X5 E53 Rear Entertainment System

Hi everyone! Please I need some help bad! I have been struggling with this for a few weeks already and I got so frustrated and it's not making anymore sense to me because I have tried everything. I have installed Rear Entertainment System myself on my X5 and I'm pretty sure that i did all the connections right! I have the installation manual from BMW and I found it pretty easy to install. everything is working find... the system powers up and the dvd plays movies and the sound is fine but th eonly issue I'm having is most time I get the picture in black and white! sometimes I get it in color for 5 or 10 minutes but then the image starts to stumble and it goes bakc to black and white! someone told me that the filter that's connected to the dvd harness it might be damaged so I went and I bought one for $75 and still it wouldn't solve the problem. then I spoke to a few guys and and they all sugested that my module was damaged so again I went and I bought another module and still wouldn't solve my problem. I tried different monitor from a friend... same thing, I even tried another bmw dvd player same is my system dvd player again nothing changed. it's driving me crazy because I tried all diifferent parts and I spent $150 on parts for nothing. the only thing that is left and I havn't tried is to buy new monitor cables but I really don't wanna spend anymore money for nothing!! does anybody have this system and experienced the problem I'm having? and what is the solution for it? I spoke ot my dealer and they couldn't help me much and they asked me to bring my car in and they said it can take a few hours, so that mean it can run for a few hundred dollars and I really cant affored to pay any money. I would appreciate any help and advice!! thanx guys!!!
