Two distinguishing factors of the LCD, no, rather 3:
It has no Touchpanel, so I will need to source a standalone Touchpanel overlay, and add that.
Secondly. it use RGB arcade-style input, meaning it uses a Composite sync, at 15.7kHz, where std VGA inputs have independant syncs for vert and horiz. So, to rectify the situation, I grabbed myself a very nice
ArcadeVGA PCI-Express GFX card which supports the Composite Sync on this specific LCD Ford chose to use in the car entertainment system.
I could have made things a lot easier, and just have grabbed a factory SatNav system, but then I would have no Carputer functionality, eg OBD interface, Wifi, etc.
So, now I am awaiting arrival of this card, which should get here next week - when I am in Finland
Well, patience....
Thirdly, the screen as built-in I/R receiver, but I will replace that with bi-directional unit, that will communicate directly with the PC.
After all, using the ArcadeGFX card, I may need a slightly higher case, as the card is to high to fit in the Morex Cubid 2688.
Well, things are progressing, it seems I will have a brandnew Xenarc 700TSV for sale soon, maybe, and then a 8" LCD touchscreen too....let's see....
Will keep this moving along, with frequent updates.
