Yeah I am not going to be doing this ever again it has been a headache for my crazy life. I plan to get the last few people taken care of and move on. I actually went to the hospital for heart issues today from what they think is due to stress (apparently I am too Stressed at my job ( I work with idiots), school and the internet) so yeah no more group buys for Trey.
Also I removed you email address from your post you will end up with so much span if you leave that on there trust me I posted the group buy email on here and it gets 5+ spam emails a day so yeah you owe me one lol
As for your issue with the rear blind get it down and never use it again it is a pain to get to and if you buy a new part is very very expensive so not worth you messing with. If you disregard my advice get ready to be shocked by the price a dealer will give you to replace it. BTW mine works great but I only use it one a month or so because they can get stuck up and then you have real issues.

Ok I have good and bad news
Good news is that the lcd's are in Italy finally.
Bad news is that Customs wants some more documentation on WTF they are and why I sent them to Italy. But the contact from the company is helping me out on that so she should have the screens very soon. I know this has been forever but should be over soon

Wow, that's amazing...It's still legible at 185 degrees F

I agree, thanks Trey.

The dark strip on the left is the same thing I have which wasn't there at first but it's a non issue for me although mine is not as wide. It's the first thing the other half complained about and my response was well the rest of it looks good so deal with it. The 185 temp could maybe be an unplugged or bad temp sensor from the wreck / repairs just done to your car?

Take your time Trey, I'm in no rush on my end. Customs can be a B*tch to deal with. I almost forgot about the LCD group buy haha.. Just send it to me whenever you get it in. For now i'm looking for a big *** truck and going to get rid of my benz after this LCD comes in and installed. Its boating season and my benz ain't gonna pull no boat.

dude first I would start your own thread for something like that as well as give them more details like year of your car so we know which model nav unit you have. BTW doubt you will find just a screen probably have to replace the whole unit. EBAY is your friend.

So figured it was time for an update. So the letter I sent over there was received now just trying to confirm that it was enough for customs officials. I am not pushing them to much because I do know that the earthquakes could be causing some issues but did send off an email a few minutes ago to check on where we stand.

They are testing the screens and are going to ship out replacements very soon. She did mention that due to the earthquakes it may take a little longer but will keep you all updated.
