After the disappointment of finding the Official Pi Touchscreen wouldn't fit the original sat nav cluster I picked up for my car I picked up a 7" HDMI touchscreen from eBay.

Out of the box it also didn't fit, but with a bit of work it is almost fitting nicely.

I removed the pcb from behind the screen to allow the screen to slot in a bit easier, and used some cutters to remove some of the offending plastic from its way.

I'm next going to cut down the pcb to allow it to fit.

Once that is done it's time to fit it 😎

Hey my dear, how are you? Is this screen support original to your car or did you design it yourself? If you designed it, would you be able to make the model available? I have the same car and I'm starting a project similar to Open Auto Pro. Thank you very much for sharing this journey, although it's long, it's been very interesting to follow.
