As I've said before, this is the best 6.4 vga lcd I could find. I am a laptop repair tech and so finding an inverter was not a problem. I smoked my first datalux controller while making a cable to go from the controller to the lcd (btw that was a real pain in the A$$ and a 1:! hirose would have worked fine). bought another LMV10R with a bad lcd for parts. I wired the other inverter in wire for wire with a slide switch on the ground wire (pics coming soon as I'm hoping for a new digicam for Christmas :0) I suggest using the datalux inverters as laptop inverters are difficult to properly connect and are all different. Infrared has said he has inverters that will power 2 backlights here http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/show...threadid=11918
My Datalux controller is REV E and works GREAT. This setup would look great in a double-din, I actually used a painted cdrom case for mine, It's a little ugly but will work until I can come up with something better.
You can get used LMV10R's on Ebay for ~$100.
I am still looking for a good, cheap touch solution for mine. I *think* the datalux controller can handle any 4-wire resistive touchscreen if wired properly.
I believe the Earth controller will work with the right cable, you should check with them. Also check here http://ns1.unitedserviceapps.net/lcdkitcontroller.html As they sell a 6.4 kit with the LQ64D343, Their $200 controller should work with the right cables.
I highly recommend looking for the LQ6D341 with the anti-glare coating if you can find one. The LQ64D343 is so bright that it's not a really big deal but would be nice to have as the 343 is rather shiny. I think that some touchscreen overlays have some kind of anti-glare so this may not be needed (and will slightly reduce brightness).

Good luck, and I will post pics when I get a digicam (btw mine was stolen, which is why I have not posted any pics)
