ps. I was also thinking about scrapping the cable and routing one which would include 2 extra wires for the 12v feed from the egg.. just wondered if I would come across any probs with this.. I guess theres only oneway to find out..

I'm installing my Lilliput into the in-dash housing now. I'm also having problems with the 9-pin mini-DIN connector - the VGA signal is intermittent and I have to push the connector in real tight before the signal is OK. Here's how I am wiring it up:

a. +12V, GND, Video1, Video2: Using the 5 wire ribbon cable that comes with the housing. This is already pre-wired to carry +12V, GND, V1 and V2 from the 6-pin mini-DIN cable that comes with the housing. I intend to replace the mini-DIN with the V1/V2/Audio/+12V that comes with the Lilliput (cut off the USB end and wire it into the small PCB at the back of the housing.

b. VGA + USB touchscreen: Add a 9 wire ribbon cable from the display housing to the back of the in-dash housing. Cut off the head (9-pin mini DIN) of the Lilliput's VGA/touchscreen cable and splice it into the ribbon cable.

c. Drill a small hole on the display bezel, install a bicolor (red/green) LED and wire that to the Lilliput's display controller.
