    Well, it all depends on the angle you're viewing from. You can try it without any and that might be fine. Others might need a 10k resistor. That's the reason for the pots: everybody's got a different setup.

    And if you're just using winamp check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/lcdplugin/
    If you like to monitor everything then what you got is best.

    does anyone know which pot controls the contrast? I would prefer full contrast all the time , so the only thing Id need a pot for would be the backlight , but I would prefer to stay away from pots all together and just use resistors

    The 10K is the contrast and the 100 is the brightness.

    Total re-design underway: on the whole progress is very slow as the car is taking up too much time :)
