First impressions are that it will fit with a little persuasion. I'll then connect it to a Car PC that I'm going to buy tomorrow.
its not going to work buy this screen its alpine.... this is what I haveQuote:

Qe? Why won't it work?
I'm not connecting to any LR amps or headeck tho...
if you want preferct fit and a original look buy the apline... but if you want to just to sit it in there then yeah.... buy what you want hehehe:)
The Alpine isn't a touchscreen and can't be connected to a PC either.
I'm going to disassemble the Lilliput and either cut down the existing case or make a new one up to make it fit in.
mp3car.com has a lot of information about making a custom install get that factory-look.
mate what ever you think its going to suitable for you... but I have been trough 6 screen this is the only one that can fit wright and I am a bit perfectionest :)
if you need help let me know
For what its worth I'm no rocket-scientist in these matters, but I had an Alpine unit in my Landcruiser and it was absolutely brilliant - it definitely was a touch screen unit. It's iPod, DVD, and TV functionality was grouse.Quote:

So I upgraded the installation to include the new Alpine navigation unit - Version 1 = piece of crap (wrong directions - made me turn left instead of right once in Adelaide - and poor quality maps). If I could have hooked it up to a NavMan or TomTom it would have been fantastic.

Yeah its definetly not sutiable for what i want.
I'm making a Car PC which will have a Windows or Linux PC runnig in the back.
Therefore I need a touchscreen with VGA \ DVI \ HDMI inputs.
One idea you have given me though is to get a case from the Alpine screen and retrofit the guts of my Lilliput into it. That would fitting it into the dash easy.
Just need to find a 2nd hand or damaged alpine screen now.
There is a conversion possible on the Kenwood 7" screens to enable usb output. I am just not sure how to get a decent image from the PC to the screen.
Given the Keenwood is a relatively easy mount it might be an option.
