I swear, Mike hasn't received a dime for his compliments, but maybe I should mail him a big fat cheque?!
After more testing this weekend, the new screens are ready for the big stage. I just need to find some
enclosures to contain the controller boards, otherwise everything is directly compatible with the system.
The only tell-tale giving away the secret that this product isn't a 100% OEM LCD cluster, is that a small
"HDMI" icon will appear in the upper left corner of the main screen when the vehicle is powered. The icon
stays on the screen for 3 seconds, then disappears.

There may be a method to shut off the HDMI indicator, or I can simply disguise it with a "Lamp Test"
that illuminates all turn signal, high beam, and warning icons when the ignition is turned on.
The next step is to format the graphics and touch screen areas for the new LCD sizes. An easy, but
time consuming task! The option for the end user to plug in their own screen still exists; the module
still communicates over USB 2.0/3.0 on a Window's operating system.
Stay tuned for a new thread and demo video once the graphics are complete. Thanks for reading!
