I have been searching like a madman for the best LCD screen. I want brightness and contrast like the super expensive screens used in some of the higher end OEM NAVs. Well, as luck would have it, I now have the screen from a 2005 TL. My question is, does anyone have any advice for me before I start hacking away at this thing? I just want to use it as a standard LCD monitor. I figure I'll have to strip it down to the bare LCD module and build my way back up. If anyone knows an easier way, I would love to hear it.
Here is the backside:
nice find!
lots of plugs, do you have any of the harnesses?
I'm betting if you can power it up, you can find a video input somewhere in all those harnesses.
I would do 2 things. first open it up and try to figure out what manufacturer/model it is and get some specs and info. Second find a pinout or factory wiring diagram to see if you can just give it power and signal.
I don't know that much about vga controllers and such, but maybe you can get one for that display and toss a touch screen kit on it... might be more of a project than its worth... I dont even know if its possible.
have fun, dont fry it
Back panel removed:
1) It's already touchscreen, but who knows how proprietory that is.
2) The goal is to hook up to it with a VGA or LVDS signal.
3) If it fries along the way, so be it.
Here is the face, removed from housing:
It probably uses a RGBS signal...which I believe most OEM systems are...I know Lexus/Toyota and Nissan ones are.

Anyway, I am continuing the disassembly and I will post more pics along the way. It seems to have a pretty standard four wire touch panel:
great updates and pics... keep 'em coming!
Your wish is my command...
