Ah - brings the memorys flooding back. If only I could retain them for more than a second or two  

now, what was I talking about?...... oh , yes LCD screens
I got mine from hero electronics, but at the time it was cheaper at a place not mentioned on the sharp list - Eurodis Electronics.

keep us posted

Good luck

Wow, I do like the the DVB interface they've made for the CID on that site....

wouldent be hard to rig up a games machine to it instead. when you think a scart cable can output rgb it makes sense that it can be added to this, seems that the screen switches to rgb mode by a small voltage, kinda like the remote wire on an amp. nice easy one to play with.  
wish i had one to play with.

 Wish I had two to play with. Then, if I broke one, I'd have a spare...

Update on the 5"tft colour screen.

One or two of you asked about where to get these screens and wakeyomega gave some pointers - a ring round as follows for part LQ 5AW136 or 136R:

1. Arrow Electronics - 01234 270027 - £104.17 plus 40 euros delivery - the stock is in Sweden

2. Rutronik £113.16 plus £7.50 postage - awaiting stock

3. Datamodul 01473 835777 - £105.00 plus £30 delivery - stock in Germany

What am I doing? Another go at German ebay first - what the hell.

VX replied this week and have referred my various observations to a technicla team - it is not clear whether or not I will get any further answers. Anyway they made a nice gesture in offering to pay for the next service on my new Signum - they were careful not to make it for  my 6 year old Omega coming up to cam belt time!!

As an update to this post about faulty CIDs I have had the dreaded common problem with my display i.e intermittent, responds for a while after belting the dash etc. I was not initially aware of this post in the forum and like everyone else was unwilling to pay £1200+ for a new display. After some searching on T'internet I found a firm at Rochester (BBA-Reman) who are an automotive remanufacturer. They said they could look at this for me and so I removed the CID and sent it off to them. I subsequently found this post and the information on the replacement Sharp Panels. I told the techy at BBA about these and gave hime some supplier details. Received unit back today fully working and with a 2 year warranty. Cost £186 odd. If you don't want to tackle replacing the screen yourself try BBA rather than sending unit to Germany. They also remanufacturer ABS sensors, dash panels etc etc. Their website is well worth a look :-

For CID repairs give them a call and ask to speak to Nigel or Kev. (Nigel is the tech I dealt with). Be prepared to hang onto ringing tone for sometime as they do get very busy and only have 10 I/C lines!!
