this is the monitor going into the dash

this is how i took it apart

i removed this 2 screws

then this plate

AFter that 4 screws that connect the 2 parts

apart now

next was the ir transmiter

finally all apart

next was the 4 screws in the back 1 on each coner

next 8 little clamps that hold the lcd in place

before i removed the lcd i use tape to mark the edges of lcd

finally an empty case

this will be its new resting place

i have no pictures of the build here is the final product

using the tape came really handy later

Let me know what you guys think
