Thought u might be interested Dom as u seem pretty clued up about this sort of stuff!
yea he probably used a diode to fool it to think that your car was still switched off etc 
good news though mate, glad your old man got it sorted  Im still suprised that the screen had that feature though, most screens dont, apart from dimming when you switch your headlights on like normal headunits etc etc
How wells, glad its sorted mate..i might wack this in the FAQ section as it could be useful

Gawd thats one strange screen  most have built in regulators for 10-15v, why that one is different ill never know. Design or internal fault maybe?
