another option is to chop off the buttons, hide the circuit board for the buttons, and extend the wires for the IR sensor and use the lilliput remote

The little recess above the buttons is where I normally trim Lillis off. Then when you move the button board around back there is nothing else within the housing that would hang below that cut off area.

so ig ot the lili 7 inch screen in front of me

above the buttons. theres a deep like 2mm wide indent that runs the length of the screen
is that wher eu mean that you cut it off?
and for the top if i flatten it out a bit?

i really wanna ge tow ork on this so when ever i can afford the actualy screen it splug and play

I don't have any pics, but with the exception being the buttons, the circuit boards within the Lilli are no larger than the screen. If you look inside the front you can see the tabs that locate and center the LCD along with the 4 screw posts for the tabs that hold it in. As you long as you don't cut these all off all is well. I believe you may lose the lower tabs if you cut on that recess but if you need the maximum height reduction its no big deal. Just secure it so it can't fall.

alright i think i got it. sounds good. yeah i just need to be able to pop it into the dash so it needs to be smaller then a certain size heh.

thanks for the help!
