In Dash motorised housing - for people already with touchscreen

Pabs · 04-30-2005, 03:47 PM

Ok

I am probably jumping the gun a little bit as they have only just been released, but I, as I am sure a lot of you, already have a lilliput/xenarc 7" touchscreen monitor.
I really like the in-dash motorised screens that are now just appearing on the market, but I dont think I can justify spending £280 ($500-550) on a new screen when mine works fine.
Is there, or WILL THERE BE, (in the near future) a motorised chassis that we can just pop our existing lilliput/xenarc PCB into?

I have seen some custom ones before, but was hoping there was going to be a simpler version? I am sure the panasonic panel is very similar to the xenarc unit anyway, if not the same, surely it "could" just be a case of popping it into the empty housing?

If not, I am going to have to try to sell my xenarc, which I have had for less than 6months.
Just seems so much hassle really.
Anyone with info? Please do tell

MANY THANKS in advance

Oh, and if not, are we going to have a UK reseller of these new units? I have been stung many times with import tax...

I know it's not the UK, but do you mean something like this:

yes, this is sort of what i was looking for, but something maybe a little easier?
I think i am right in saying that it is quite a task to transfer the screen across into the new housing?
Also, i didnt say, but I have the xenarc touchscreen, and this one doesnt say that it would work with it, only the lilliput.

peeps - dragging an old thread up i know, but might have an answer now....

Non-motorised in dash housing for a xenarc - armen sells them - Does anyone in the UK?
Also, is it really tricky to put a xenarc into an in dash housing? The picture how-to looks quite tricky....
cheers in advance guys.
