Can I cut the extra cables off my EBY701?

I have nearly finished my little project to install my Lilliput EBY701 screen on a rail and hinge in my dash, the only problem left is cable management. The way I'm doing things, the RCA/power(? I'm not sure what this is, it fits the power plug, so I assume it's a power extension?) cables constantly get in my way. I have no need for them, I'm just using the VGA and USB - so can I cut these off, without creating problems for normal operation? I can't see anywhere to order a replacement cable for this thing if I mess it up, so I'm being extra cautious.

edit: I went and did it anyway, because I found an eBay seller with the cable. It worked out great, I'm all set now!

I dont really know what wires you're referring to, but can you just detach them from whatever board? Do you have pictures?

Yes you can cut them off. I cut mine off with no issues. Just make sure when you do cut them, you isolate the wires (the inner wire and the outer sheath) so that noting touches...

I ended up pulling them out entirely (removing the pins from the head) because I had already removed the plastic cover for it, so it was simple that way. I still need to figure out a better way to manage the rest of the wire though, it keeps getting snagged when it slides. Other than that it's all gravy now.
