yes, plan to buy its case off ebay. not cheap 175+50. they told me will give me shielded rj45 so i save the trouble. will see how it work out.

it worked o.k. for my liliput 7" touchscreen. i don't notice the difference when switch to a vga cable. here is the place

P.S. the 5m rj45 is too long. i think i will cut it to fit my car.

Could you post some more close up photos of the RJ45 connector board?

the rj45 connectors are marked #1,#2,#3 on board and on pcb go to pin insert flat rubber connector - with connectors to insert into the mobo. It require a power plug (from PSU) to power up the 12V out rail. two USB on the pcb (one is drop inside the case so a Bluetooth stick will insert and half way into the case leaving only the tail part outside the case). two USB goes to the head unit (i don't get it 4pin x 2=8) but it is true i plug into the onboard 2 USBs
