Hi there, I can get ahold of two screens one being this panasonic TR-6LC1. The screens are from some jap car imports used for GPRS. The thing is they only have S-Video input could I use these screens or not? thanks. (the other screen is a Sharp TFT Crystaltron 4.5" same input)

this is an obvious answer... If your device has s-video out, you can use it. the main thing you should worry about is what the screen needs power wise..

Im sure its useable somehow.

Sorry for the necro, but I was on holiday, The input plug into has 13 pins, 3 rows of 4 and 1 on the bottom of the rows. I can't find the pinout anywhere for it. It is the only plug that can be plugged into it and there are no switches on it. There are two dials for colour and tint plus a sensor. Any easy way to find the pinouts?

i don't know if touching each pin with a video source would damage it somehow, but if it doesn't, that would be the easiest way to find the video pin

Wow, your name looks a lot like Lucretius (some wacko member here

) at first glance.

Only way I can think finding it is try video on each pin until it shows up. I'm pretty sure you can't damage your screen this way.

Thing is it has no switches only a sensor, the power would run through the 13 pin plug, which I don't know which pin it is so I can't test it out.
I'm thinking the worst here with it having a sensor, it may need to be turned on with a remote.
Is there anyway to kinda like bypass the sensor if need be?
Does anyone know about these 13 pin plugs, theres an input plug the same on the back of my head unit.
And another thing, should I even bother with this screen?

Search the web for S-Video to Comp. Video, then it just might be easier.
