2006 Range Rover OEM Factory Monitor

Does anybody know how to convert my Factory touch screen Monitor so I can hook up a pc to it. I've searched for months and cant find anything.

Does it have a video input? If it does then you can display video from the PC either using a VGA scan converter or from a video adapter that has some sort of TV-out. Even then, it's very likely that the display will look like ****.
To use the touch portion, you'd have to hack into the unit, determine the signal output, manufacture an adapter to a signal the PC can interpret and write driver software to read those signals.
Can it be done? Yes. Is it worth the time and effort? Not to most people. Save the headaches and get a VGA touchscreen that fits in the same space.

What about a Video Switcher, if I didn't use touch screen. Or will the video quality still look like ****?
