    Post up a link or some pictures for a better responce as some monitors are re-named/re-numbered by different sellers.

    That looks exactly like my SP-716, same manual with poor english translations. I'm pretty happy with my monitor. Some people have reported the plastic gears breaking, but mine seems fine. You may want to search on SP-716 here, there may also be other numbers for that screen.

    yeah it does seem to be the same as the SP-716; How was your install, good or bad?

    Elifromthevi,
    The install was as easy as installing a head unit, solder power connections, 4 screws to mount to a frame, hook up UBS, video, etc., then bolt the frame to the car. It was kind of tight to put it on top of my new head unit, but that was just the A/C stuff in my Pathfinder. You can see pics in my worklog (see sig below)

    Mine has built in TV, no FM. The reception pretty much sucks for TV and I didn't even hook up the antennea for it once I mounted in the car. BTW, it's a PAL antennea and you will need an adapter you can get at radio shack(I think it is part# 278-261). There is a thread on that somewhere...
    I have constant power to the batt and acc to the acc line, both with inline fuses. Seems to do OK for me. Your milage may vary.
