Thread: Aftermarket navigation and Rear entertainment system

I just bought a Lilliput 669GL-70NP/C/T 7" HDMI touchscreen which I'm going to try and squeeze into the cubby hole.

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 have


Alpine Electronics of Australia

and here some images heheh

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.

The only let down was the navigation unit. Originally I had it fitted with a NesaNAV system which was the bees-knees - even had a lot of the dirt tracks on it and a great zoom feature.

However, when I came to update the maps I was told that NesaNAV wasn't doing them any more . 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.
