Sorry for the late reply, I haven't looked at this thread for a while...

I got my lilliput from ebay... shipped out of Hong Kong... arrived in about 3-4 days... Bottom line? it rocks

I did get the touchscreen addon as well - which works as advertised. I find that I have to use a fingernail for it to track my movements properly, but that's to be expected...

All up including touch screen and delivery cost me $388AUD... now I'm onto working on getting the audio back in the car - as the lilliput is taking the place of my old head unit... Will take photos sooner or later...

Hey I have a problem. THis mod works great for me except in two conditions. 1 if i turn on my car, then have it on for like 5 minutes, turn it off, turn it on again and nothing from the screen. Also, when i park my car for the week in the schools garage, i go out to it the following friday, and the screen wont self power. It seems to work fine other than that, like overnight stays, if i go into a store, etc... just not short or long intervals.

Isent it easier to shortcircuit the poweron button and connect the 12v powercable to atx power???? I´m new to this but have lots of mainstream knowledge.... Sinse I only want to power on my lilliput when my pc is on this would be an easier solution....

Any one with skillz...... Does this work or will i damage the screen???

Thats the route I went with. I was afraid I would screw up the board. Very tiny solder connections.

Yeh this should work fine.
Personally I am using the 12v regulator that came with the lilliput. When the PC turns on it powers a relay switch which turns both my amps on, turns my EQ on (all via the remote wire) and powers my screen up. I found it safer this way, just in-case.

I've been using this same technique for 16 months.. it works a treat and everything comes one and goes off when you turn the pc on/off
