Programming your 629

**theonlykid** · 11-12-2009, 09:04 PM

The 588998 code works on all of the VGA based Lilliput 701 and 629 monitors (except the new DVI based 629 it has a different sequence to access the menu). With all due respect to Easyc you can do the whole process to auto power on via the remote control. I do it 20 times a week at work if not more. Simply enter the code hit the menu button 2 more times. THe first line you see on the 3rd screen says power state and has a default value of 0. Use the right arrow key on the remote to toggle that 0 and change it to 2. Just hit the menu button again to exit and you are all done. Be careful poking around and changing the other settings. Once saved some settings can only be erased with an EPROM flash.
It is impossible to make the monitors auto switch for a rear view camera by messing with the hidden settings menu. The control board needs to have resistors added to it for the auto switch feature to actually work.
For those users that are having an issue with getting the code to work you are doing something wrong, most likely not having an image on the screen.
Detailed printable instructions to enter the code can be found here:

Some people, however, claimed that this feature worked on their 629GL (2008).
Do you perhaps have a link for the resistors mod to make the auto switch work?
Thanks!

I am 100% sure that the auto power on is a feature on both the 2008 and 2009 models. As for the resistor to do the auto switch I have no idea on the rating. They are surface mounted resistors that are about the size of 1/2 a grain of rice. I tried to look at it under a 20x microscope but I still cant make out what the writing is on the chip to identify it. I am not an EE by trade so I wouldnt know how to test them even if I were able to get one desoldered in the first place.

does anyone know how to mod a lilly to make it auto switch video inputs between PC and backup camera?

If you cant figure it out you can always change the AD control board to one that has that feature built in already.

I can as well just buy a new monitor, right?
I just thought it might be a simple mod as I saw pictures of lilly board with a green wire soldered somewhere - this wire makes it backup-camera friendly..

It is compatible you just need to figure out what that resistor value it. There are actually 2 of them. I tried to just solder a wire to the board in the correct spot. It was a no go. That is when I notices the resistors that are missing from the other control boards. I wish it was as easy as soldering a wire in place because the ones that come with that feature cost slightly more.

Can you be less cryptic? Which resistor(s)? What correct spot? Do you have a link to more info on this?
Thanks!

And do you know what that sequence is?

I actually found the solution on pccar.ru
It's 1 transistor and 2 resistors. And a wire.
There are places on the board to solder those things. They are just empty. $5 worth of parts

Didn't try it yet but people claim it works.
