I've been running mine replacement for a little over a week now. It had been OK so far. I think it is really a hit or miss thing. Some people have had bad luck with these. Others have had good luck. However, you can't beat the price from ex-audio though. It was the lowest price anywhere when I was shopping around.

What do they say....You get what you pay for?

I would say only from personal experience you would be better trying to buy direct from Liliput or maybe from mp3car.com.
If you use ex-audio and have any problems thier after sales is rubbish, I ‘ve had one delivered which I waited over a month for and a replacement that took the same time to come and they’ve both been faulty, I’m now waiting for a second replacement, you would think any respectable trader would have sent me a replacement out straight away for the sake of there name after all the problems I've had but no I’m having to wait again.
They couldn’t handle customers any worse if they tried.
I’m sure other buyers on this forum will back me on this.

Seriously, read the topic, this is 'urgent' right?

So far it seems hit and miss, several people have had replacements, Regal has had a second piece of crap delivered to him. I decided to get a standard touchscreen instead, that works fine but the vga cable is broken so I'll have to wait on another cable, so that gives you an idea of the customer service your going to get if it doesn't work.
No one can say with any certainty that one you buy will work so you can work out the risk for yourself; If this is the last piece of your install buy something more reliable, if you've not started building and don't mind the possibility of sending it back then yeah screw it, why not then buy one.

I'm whole heartedly with regal on this one.

Are you saying that every feature is working perfectly or are you just making the best of what is working?

The product should always be as described, after all the customer doesn’t set the price but the seller sets the standards.

What do you mean by every feature?

The radio works, AM doesn't...but I'm assuming that's because it's crappy tuner circuitry. The TV tuner works, for what it is. Can't get such great reception using an antenna. VGA mode works.

I haven't tried the speaker outputs, as I'm running off the RCAs.

i got my screen in 3 days ago.. had it up and running. the red wire on the lilliput goes to the yellow wire on my car harness. (this was said before - match the task of the wire not the color) the motor sounds a little strained when opening. closing sounds better but not as smooth as my friends kenwood. i fried my power supply for my cpu. i was using a car inverter and i mistakenly turned the car on while the comuter was on... must have surged something

have a new case (morex from mp3car.com) on order with the carnetix regulator.

i hope my screen holds out. i am only using the vga part as i have 2 din locations in my car (SRT-4) and my HU has an excellent crossover built in. audio will be run off of AUX on the HU.

I had problems with the touchscreen at first - windows xp wanted different drivers and the drivers on the disc for XP were labeled BETA. I just searched for the driver name and found it elsewhere on the net - could not find the new drivers on the lilliput site. once i had new drivers - touchscreen worked without a hitch although you need to enlarge the sliders on the side of windows if you want to use your finger.

I am going to start tweeking the pc until i get my new power supply (i have it rigged using a case PS from an old PC of mine) everything should by A-OK on the 22nd when my stuff comes in.

Well most people bought this screen because it had the built in amp & radio. I bought it because I only have I din in the car, so without the radio working properly and the speaker outlets it would be useless, most of the problems arise when you connect the speakers up, all the features should work perfectly that’s why you bought it .

If you bought, a new car and the radio didn’t work would you take it back or just make do.

coucouillu · 09-16-2005, 07:05 AM

Thank you all for your help.
I really hesitate now to buy it there.

1) Somebody could explain me what does the Lilli when the screen could not open entire (because it hurst the dash). (Because I have a Peugeot 306 and the dash is curving)
Will it force a bit and stay (with position memory for the next open) or wil it close after forcing on the dash ?

2) Does anybody has unmount his Lilli for looking inside (some pictures??)

You mean you have sat back and let your readers be ripped of and not done or said anything about this until now.

That means then my third unit is going to be usless just like the rest of them.
