Does this mean u can use both HDMI & standard VGA to inject 2 seperate signals and switch between the 2 which would be seperate from the RCA inputs?
Also if you do kick off the review can you find out if it would fit in the Mechatroniks Bezel ?
Cheers

from my initial looks i dont see an auto switch wire present. There's nothing mentioned about it in the manual. Later today i'm going to open the case up and have a closer look.Quote:

I have no idea if it will fit in the mechatroniks bezel. I dont own one. I do however have one of the bybyte double din mounts for a 629 lilli and my ultimate goal is to get the 669 mounted in there. I've from chris at mo-co-so that the controller board is too tall and the hdmi connector would be too wide, but i hope to make modifications to the bezel which will allow for these things.

FYI we already have 90 degree custom HDMI cables with the touch integrated (like the stock cable) on order. This should go a long way to making it fit in the Bybyte frame. We are also working on an adapter plate that will allow the control board to be mounted to the stock frame "H" bracket. Will keep you posted on that. I expect the cables to arrive in a few weeks.
There are currently no options for the rearview camera input on the 669.
Hello, when u say there are no options for the rearview camera input on the 669, do you mean there is no extra wire for the aux video input? Is this then an optional request as the specs state 4wire (5 wire optional) ??Quote:

Keen to see how this performs in direct sunlight too

I just went out and found a right-angle swiveling HDMI adapter and your right its really the only way to make the HDMI output work with the bybyte. If you guys sell an adapter plate i'll be the first buyer because as of now i have the controller board mounted with a small bungee cable lol. It works though and i officially have the 699 hooked up to the enclosure. The only thing i didn't do is attempt to extend the IR receiver as it looks slightly different than lilliputs prior.Quote:

it passes through both video and touch, wow i didnt even think about that prior to now. Guess i got lucky.Quote:

Hey Sonic,
Any further progress on this screen?
I just order one, so I should have it by next week
Have you opened it up, can you take some pix
Thanks
I submitted my review of this screen a few weeks ago but i dont see it up yet. I'll have to contact Mp3car to see whats up with that.Quote:

I had to remove the screen and send it to chris @ mo-co-so to get him to activate the auto power-on for me. If you're ordering one online i'd suggest requesting the seller activate it for you prior to shipping.
I sincerely hope the build quality of the 669 is up there with the latest 629's because i would love to have this screen working in my car for many years to come.
