Hang on.....if it is actually technically illegal to be running a screen in view of the driver and visible from outside the car (there are a few exceptions for GPS in some states/countries) don't you think putting a screen horizontal on the dashboard where EVERYONE can see it is asking for trouble?

This is very interesting! When it's possible to buy an eval.kit I'm interested too! I would like to use it for OBD-functions!
Ow damn... didn't see the price si $100,000.... I thought it was just $100... In Holland we use the , for separation of decimals...
I have a question, on laptop LCDs, they have a reflective backing and a light, what does an LCD look like on, without the light and the backing? Anyone know?

I know reflective window tint would work,
its reflective, and its see through., You dont need to do your whole window....

99+% of laptop LCDs are transmissive, not reflective (the light is behind the LCD, rather than in front, and there is no reflective layer.) Without the bright backlight, it's very very dim.
If you're getting at what I think you are, and thinking of putting a stripped down LCD in front of the windshield, I don't think TFTs are transparent enough. It can certainly be done with monochrome LCDs though, like those clear clocks or LCD dimming windows.
I had an idea of putting my laptop LCD with broken backlight as my hud. I didn't do it, but I do beleive this is possible. The screen can be pretty transparent if you keep your desktop white. However, you won't see anything at night.

+ reflective screen?
How about taking apart an LCD screen and pasting the thin film on your windshield? I wonder if any of them are clear enough for that really to work.

Just a shame I can't justify a carpc to use it on anymore.
