Installing the Lilliput 619GL 7" Touchscreen Monitor Options

[tomazws]

This post is about fitting the 619GL onto the double din slot


So here's the Lilliput 619 touch screen:



The whole LCD assembly can be forced into between the 2 clips on the panel, but the top hits the air-vent (about 5mm too long).



And the bottom is also too long (about 10mm over):



So, instead of fitting this as is like pittfirefighter did with his 629, we'll have to do some cutting First we'll have to break the warranty and take this thing apart:



From my measurements, I'd have to cut the case by following the existing gutter on the front casing. Not only it'd be a perfect fit, I also get to retain all the screw holes on the front casing:



I went to Home Depot a bought a $5 hacksaw. Oh, wear a mask or something because it smells when cutting the plastic. After the cut and a little filing, I got the front case to look like this:



See, perfect fit ! Instead of taping it or whatever, I decided to super glue it onto the panel:



Since all the screw holes are still there, I can just mount the monitor the way it came from the factory:



And the back casing, I also need to cut the top and the bottom, and some of the sides to make clearance for the center panel clips:



Connected all of the wirings and mounted the back panel. As for the buttons on the bottom, I just taped it on the back of the casing later on:

OK Vincent I'll bring it over this summer or something

I still haven't taken any pictures yet as my car's in the shop right now.

I fabricated a XENARC screen to my center dash. The great thing is the XENARC is built with auto-power on functions. I will upload a picture when the car gets back from the body shop.
