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:

what about the screens buttons?

[tomazws]

what about the screens buttons?

After programming the Lilliput to auto-power up, then you don't even need your buttons at all.... I just taped my buttons to the back side of the casing.

For auto power up the Lilliput, you can read this post here:

Have you had any problems with your screen at all? I've been through 3 screens in my Celica and each one had a different problem. The first one I had didn't do too well in the daytime when my car was hot on the inside. The second one didn't show picture well during the daytime, so on a bright day, I could barely see anything on the screen. The one I have now works great, but when I have the top down, the sunlight will reflect off the screen and blind me .

[tomazws]

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.

[palooke]

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.

[MaskedMan]

[jason]

Summers coming my friend. I had a great deal of work done.
The center dash piece I frabricated to look factory. I will upload some pics of it and im willing to take it apart to show how its is done. It really quite simple. but takes some effort sanding and such.

I like what tomazws has done. I just wanted a factory look. to do so you need to buy an extra monitor bezel from the factory. In my case Xenarc. it was only $27 and then some Dynatron, sandpaper, primer, paint and lots of elbox grease. with a bit of effort I have a center dash with a radio head unit a touchscreen AND my clock. I had to redirect air flow...but its a vert...i really dont care.
