Just want to say this project is still on. I decided to go with a different screen though. Here is the screen I ordered:
XENARC 700IDT™
7" IN-DASH LCD Monitor w/ VGA & Touch Screen
http://www.xenarc.com/product/700IDT.html
Hopefully in a few weeks all will be done. What's this about the HP not outputting enough signal? If so, I guess I'll have to use my work laptop and the extra docking station.  |

Not that I know of. When should I expect it? I think Ken said it is supposed to ship this week.

My screen finally arrived Monday. The Xenarc 700IDT's were on backorder like a mofo. Anyway, here it is: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showt...96#post1592696
Here are some pictures of my car fresh out of the body shop:
The hood is actually a Fiber Images Blue-weaved Kevlar hood, and not your average Carbon Fiber hood. It has to be about 10-15 LBS at most! To see the bright blue weave, you have to see it in person. It NEVER shows up in pictures.
The new, bigger Front Mount Inter Cooler is missing from the lower front grille. When I get time, it will be installed.

The price of the screen was a hookup. 
I just re-imaged my HP Pavilion N5190 to Windows XP instead of the craptastic Windows ME. Routis is installed, and so is my Halwin software (Haltech E6X) for my engine management. I will be installing the touch screen software later today.

Ok, I got the monitor to fit. It definitely protrudes out, and says "here I am!" I still have to hook up power, and mount my laptop. I also finally stowed my Haltech E6X away, and put my passenger side floor back together again.

The website where the pictures are hosted had its bandwidth limit exceeded. I don't think I connected it directly to the battery. Should I have?

Glad I went with the Xenarc now. It works fine.

Well xenarc lcd´s have input voltages of 11-24v, so it should be ok 
Did you connected to your Psu 12v ?
Are you satisfied with the indash monitor even if it protrudes a little??
Does the touchscreen works fine ?Can you see well during the day ?
