I must commend you for what you have done, but you did take a massive gamble and paid way over the odds for the 2 LCD's. Those LCD's that are used in the MG7, only cost about £5 each to manufacture & should retail well under £20 per LCD.

With that in mind, me and Phil-T4 had a discussion yesterday. As he also thinks that you took a big gamble, but it payed off. Those were his words. As I work in the electronics industry, I have given him the name of a worldwide parts sourcing suppler. To both the auto and the electronics industry, based here in the UK. Not far from where Phil lives, he is going to contact them tomorrow.

Hi Anthony.
Hope you had a good festive holiday best wishes to you both, this is very kind of you, and hopefully as you say it will show some fruition cheers Arctic

Thank you so much, I do not mind at all, if we can work together to get the price down to an acceptable level then that is a win win for everyone...

Sean (Radioguy) and Mat (DMGRS) are also on the case of trying to hunt down a good supply line...

If we can get the supply / install price down to below the £80.00 mark then I think most folks would be very interested...

It would also mean the renewal of many would be dead message centre IPK's which could then be repurposed to give all owners a reasonably priced message centre upgrade option....

But then the cost of button stalks would go through the roof....

I must say I have searched for over 6 months for a supplier and the 2 I did find were within a few dollars of each other....

This is very promising news, let's all hope it comes to fruition. I have to admit that I would be very, very interested if the price was able to come in at £80-100 mark.
Waiting now with even more baited breath

Many thanks to Pete, and now others that this may become a reality

Thanks Steve, we both had a nice Christmas. I also had a great birthday, so I will be a half century at the end of this year. I hope both you and Gail had a nice time to.

Is there any chance you can pm me the details please Pete? I am hoping that my suggestion comes to fruition as a source in the UK, and we can get them for under £20 per LCD. But that depends on how many require to be ordered, also the good part about this company is. They will hold stock on the shelf, that can be called off at any time. And the company I work for, uses them to source hard to find RF components or parts with a long league times.

I have just bought 2 more displays...

One for a customer who has pre- ordered and I will have one for sale...

if you are interested , please MP me...

Pete is there a part no for the LCD? Not a Rover/Rimmers/X-Part no, but the actual part no printed on or near the screen or invoice.

You have probably searched for it, but the more peeps on the case, the more likely we may get a result.

I cant believe the part is exclusive to the 75/zt. Someone mentioned before that they were sure it was used on an old JVC audio system.

There is a PN on the ribbon, but not an assembly PN.
I have searched through the net and specialist electronics suppliers for heading on for a year now and this is the only supply I have been able to utilise.

They are listed for the Roewe / MG7, if used in other items such as audio equipment you need to ask how often would they fail and would anyone bother to stock them for such disposable items...??

What is the real name of the item, the more people searching the better?
