..chris i went over to the parts shop for the screen but unfortunately it is not in good condition cause the dimmer button and round button close to menu button are missing.So if you ever hear anything about a screen over there,plaese let me know.


Thanks again....

I finally received the screen i was telling you about in my e-mails.This guy probably forgot to send it on time and the package took 40 days from Grermany to Greece!!I got it from e-bay and the screen is the ALPINE TME-M770S 6,5 touchscreen monitor.
I can tell you that the screen fits perfectly on the cover of the cluster.
With surprise i noticed that the actual display is sharp ,probably the same model with the oem display but with a touch panel on top of the display for touch screen operation

...the only problem is that i have to remove the circuit of the power and volume button in order to fit the screen in the navigation cluster.
I will try tommorow in a car audio store, to power and operate the screen without this circuit to see if it is working.
If not,i think i will have to extend the cable tape of the screen with longer cables and hide(?) the power button in the glovebox.
Another problem is that the circuit board of the screen wont fit behind the screen in the metal bracket you send me together with the nav cover.
So i will leave the board as it is which is right on top of the screen and then glue the entire display with the board on top of the navi cover.
Right now if you just leave the screen on top of the cover it locks in place!
The cover has small lips of the four corners and together with the menu button and the other ''button'' that used to accomodate the power on lamp,it forms a small step for the display to lock on.
Below i have the pictures of the power and volume circuit ,the ''lock'' of the screen on top of the cover and the no fitting of the board in the metal bracket.

Let's hope everything will work all together at the end.
I just remembered i have to go to the dealer for the coding of the cluster.......

..so i have tried to power the screen without this small circiut board but with no luck.A technician from Alpine told me that i can operate the power button simpy by putting two extension cable leading to another push button far from the circuit board.
So i did just that.You can see at the pics.Now i can hide the power circuit board behind the display and use the extented red push button that i placed in the centre on navigation cover where the oem round button used to be....


...do you think i should paint this black....?
