i had the same question as chut.Originally Posted by chut
Great install nthai! Solara looks very clean -- the way it should look! (i love the lowered stance)
very clean install looks like it came like that from the factory or somebody did a very $$$ install. have you had any problems with the lilliput?
thanks

Thanks guys for leaving a positive notes. It means a lot after spending countless of hours working on the system.
To peeps with questions:
* I use the software downloading directly from the www.obd-2.com. I bought the tool there, ISO for Euro, Asian, Chry - and cost $122.
* As for the Lilliput screen, I bought it from Crystar's group buy in this forum. I guess I was one of the lucky ones, I haven't had any problem with mine yet. No ghost screen, nothing weird at all.
Btw, the USB-to_serial Deluo GPS works very well with MediaCar/ Mapppoint 04, and it works wonderfully after hibernating...
Thanks.

Do you have any day pics of the tv install? Very nice by the way. Do you ever go to RI? I see a car that looks exactly like yours in RI sometimes.
how difficult was it to move the head unit from the stock location?
Any snags or recommendations youd like to give?
