Are you sure? If yours is a 6spd it should be the same. I took out the entire silver wall that the ash-tray is in, plus the little silver curve that rounds upward toward the radio/hvac. Then I wedged that LCD in. I had planed to do a cleaner blend, but I got lazy (plus it's a lease and so far every thing I have done is fully reversible).

I was absolutely amazed at the quality. Trying to read small text is very hard, but for video playback and even for street names on the navigation, the clarity is impressive for a composite input.

Usually it starts playing immediately after you hear the startup sound (~50 seconds from ignition), but sometimes it lags like in this vid (when it doesn't lag you don't see any of that white-screen).
Infiniti G37s with dual-monitor CarPC (VGA TouchScreen + Stock LCD).
1.8GHz P4 with 1GB ram running Windows 7 Ultimate on 32GB CF-Card.
Front-End is RideRunner/RoadRunner with ELite skin.
Navigation by Garmin Mobile PC & GoogleEarth with Goops.
Visualization is MilkDrop for WinAmp.
All music/video downloaded from YouTube with VideoGrabber, and played-back from a USB flash key in a hub in the center-console... Who needs iTunes?

The mobo sux It has an old embedded intel chipset that doesn't even have windows 7 drivers. I had to fight with it forever to get both working dual-screen (until my recent re-install I could only get them in clone mode).
Anyway, it has S-Vid out as well as VGA. The conversion from S-Vid to Composite is basically a cable with a 15pF cap and a 10ohm resistor (if memory serves). I made it.
I'm sure you can find a USB-to-composite for cheap on e-bay these days (they have a USB-to-VGA that can work as a second monitor even)

Hmmmm, wasn't aware they made USB to VGA/composite. How do you like roadrunner so far? I ended up choosing centrafuse for my front end since it seems pretty popular also.
BTW is that RR that allows video to be on one screen and the GUI on the touchscreen or is that your GPU doing that?
