Thread: lilliput in-dash 7"

Sounds like you’ve already made your mind up you don’t want this screen now and I don’t blame you owing to the past problems, so why not go through pay pal, (faulty goods) after all do you think they will treat you any better when they get the screen back.

What you say is true but at the moment I'm not sure if I can claim the money as ex-audio have not refused to refund/exchange and paypal takes ages to sort disputes. For now I'm going to wait to see what ex-audio say, if they offer to refund postage costs then that will be easier than trying to claim it back off them later. I've put up with this so far so I want to see what explanation I get.

The motor problem combined with the vga issues people are having plus the high reflectivity of the screen have just put me right off.

The reason I'm so annoyed is that my install was in and finished by the original shipping date, now over six weeks later I still can't use it as I'd don't have a f*@*ing screen.

Screen reflectivity, note you can see the reflection of the sunvisors:


Some angles are far worse, it's like a mirror:

What system do you have available?

I have a laptop and like 3 desktop PC's in my house.

[edit] Wow I didn't think it was that bad.

God that’s bad I was kind a hoping the screen would be better than my Xenarc which is bad but that’s terrible.

I think I'm going to chancel mine and chose a different make, trouble is I need a separate amp then, I already have a Stock BMW HK amp in the boot of my Z3 could I use this without the radio?

What’s the most unreflective motorised VGA screen on the market at the moment?

I asked ex-audio if I can exchange for a regular 7" touchscreen as I have no faith in the motor being fixed properly (at this time I believed this to be the second newer motor) and all they said was:

"OK, please ship it back first. I will discuss with my director how to handle it afterwards." - Yeah thanks so I won't know how you'll resolve it until you get the unit back, real nice customer services..

They should really reimburse you for the shipping costs. The burrden should not be on us to ship back a faulty product, they should have tested before sending out. Any reputable company, for any type of product, would pay for the shipping. I've returned stuff before, and all shipping costs were covered.

I’ve just noticed you have a sunroof, is it any better with the roof covered up.

I'm guessing but i have a normal Lilliput i molded in my dash,i have had it now 2 years, and this is reflective from some angles but not that bad. So with the improvements people say they made i can only assume it is better than i have. But any screen will reflect to some degree, unless they do them with that anti glare glass that some picture frames come with.

Hey guys, while driving to work today I found it very hard to read the text on the monitor due to the direct sun light. Do you guys have any recomendations to overcome this issue? I have the brightness setting at 100%.
