A couple more ?'s for you guys....when purchasing a monitor....will a monitor thats made for headrests work too? The only reason I'm asking is because thats pretty much the only monitors I'm finding. I need a monitor and then a head-unit that plays cd's and dvd's so I can still listen to some tunes once in a while...any help would be greatly apreciated guys thanks. I'm going for the look kinda like dansgen1alero had with my head unit where our cubby's and mine will be glassed in without the wood trim interior. I'm going to a buddy's of mine tom. and he works at an audio shop so if you guys dont know the answers to these maybe he will. thanks, john

I'm going to be glassing in a 7" widescreen lilliput monitor this week and it will reqiure me moving my HVAC controls. the monitor is about 1/2" to tall to clear the hvac. If its just a screen unit with out a large frame than it will fit perfect top to bttom but its about 1/2' shy on eithr side for a perfect fit Edit: its more like an ince to tall but thats because the buttons are on the bottom. I belive if the buttons where on the side instead I whould of had no problems.

Aleromaster!! I saw you on mp3car.
I do also have a lilliput 619... with touchscreen.
I solved the problem with the HVAC by just rotating the screen 180degrees.
And now I'm using a software to rotate the picture. No problem at all, and the screen fits perfect!!
