thats tv out.. you can tell by the sub-par resolution

Yeah, im using the video out on the motherboard. Had to also do the resistor mod to get it to "see" the screen.

how do u do a resistor mod? does ur head unit have a touch screen? if so can it still be useD?

The screen isnt touch, even if was you cant use it as it doesnt interface with windows.

The resistor mod is done by attaching a resistor to the cable on the tv out port on the mainboard. This is so the board can 'see' the screen.

There are posts on both topics in the LCD/display forum. Browse through and search on "resistor mod" for more info
