Smaller VGA Touchscreen module

**Nicholasp27** · 09-02-2004, 04:33 PM

ur saying the touchscreen overlay is what makes the difference? either way i go will be touchscreen

i specc'd it today without the chrono pack, as i'm abandoning the idea of putting it in the center circle for now (can still change mind for next week or 2)

that pic isn't a photoshop so far as i know...someone on mini2 posted that...i need to find the thread/writeup/member to get more info on the details of installing it...

i think i'll take cut a piece of abs plastic and then cut a hole out the size of the touchscreen and use just the lcd module sticking out of that (no casing around the lcd)

hmm, ok that might work. youll still probly have to hack up the downpipes, i think anyways, cant remember just how wide they are
... on the other hand, if the tm701l goes in, there must be room between em. yea mabe im talkin crap.

heh
keep us posted.

yeah, a 7" screen fits in a din-sized unit and since the downpipes are a din-sized wide (so u can put in hu)...the main issue is moving all the stuff down and how hard that is (wire length, mounting brackets, etc)

well the hu has a plastic thing underneath it... when u remove the aircon unit you may find you will need to hack that up a little.
as for movin everythin down im not sure how youd go about it. definatley need to hack the downpipes up.

the lilliput will fit, but the xenarc is about 3mm to wide for a din housing.. but you can saw off the side bits to make it fit... just thought I would let.. might help

cheers

Just curious,

You are not getting the nav option, correct?

If you are, you can try interfacing the unit with the IBUS. Do a search on IBUS interfacing. It is pretty cool

Of course, if you are not getting the nav/screen, then I guess I am just rambling on for no reason, sorry.

i'm not getting the nav screen, no

however, i'm still going to interface my carputer with the ibus...i can get an adapter board and then read info into my carputer...should also be able to use my steering wheel controls to control the carputer (better be able to...i paid 250 extra for that wheel)

nicholas, the xenarc will prolly fit. think about it, the lili fits in teh tm701l housin. the xenarc is 3mm too wide... the housin is prob 2 mm wide.. and the downpipes are probly 2mm away from that.. should fit...
