@ Sheerluck, are you trying to power the screen with a 5v USB converter?
I have used one in the past to power a single (compass) chip but I would be surprised if it could power any sort of a screen.
Your post raised my interest because I have been struggling with a project lately and it turned out that the 5v supply from my desktop USB was not up to scratch.
Use a 2.1A USB charger.Quote:

which is a 3A supply. So more than adequate for powering the screen.
I've not seen them :D, I was thinking the little plugin types..
Where did you get the screen - I'm interested to see if would work in our freelander
So, if I understand it correctly, the idea is to do basically what I think Polaris? claims, with options of everything from reversing camera to gps and media bits integrated, but choosing your own bits?
Might have to dig out that project that changed a D2 from single to double DIN fascia!!!
Gday All,
Tombie, Sheerluck any updates on this yet.:)
Cheers Ean
