99% sure the the outside case will fit!

 

thats right but remember,the screen is touch sensitive and operates the climate control...

Right, but in most cases the screen is on it's death bed so you may as well replace it anyway and give it a new wiring diagram. It's much too complicated and expensive to try to make it work here in the US as it was designed to work overseas. It'd be simpler to rewire the unit so the buttons correspond to what you'd want and replace the screen with a newer one, touch screen if you like, but again, that will add to the level of difficulty in getting it to work properly. The main attraction with this unit is the housing, so that's the part you start with, getting a screen to fit and look right will be another dilemna, then finally hiring someone to do the wiring and install. I wouldn't tackle this project as it would be simpler and cheaper to just buy an aftermarket flip out monitor. This just seems to be more trouble than it's worth, we are talking about a 12 year old tv here for goodness sake...

 

honestly i hate that flip out stuff, it looks like it does not belong in the car.

 

I know what you mean, I don't particularly like it either, something about monitors in the headrests just look so much cleaner, too bad that concept can't really be applied to the front of the cabin without some sort of custom housing installed. I'd just say to hell with the touch screen aspect, buy the part for the housing, rewire the buttons so the climate controls work, and install a new monitor in the housing window. I wouldnt even begin to try to get it to work as it was intended to, that path would just eventually lead to the destruction of the piece because of frustration.

 

hey, sorry took long to reply. Do you have any links for the picture of this addon lips? I'm not sure which one but I can ask around with the picture.
