Well, i have a 1998 SC300 with the factory Pioneer system (which is a two amp system btw, not the single amp system like the 99s and 00s). And i've gathering some stuff for my CarPC build. Ran across some issues though, lol.
My current problem is monitor related. I'm using a Lilliput EBY701, and i'd really like to get a double din frame for it. As you can see, the frame has no buttons, and that's how i want it, clean with no buttons. So that runs into the problem of, how do i turn the monitor on? I want it to turn on automatically when the car starts.

I'm bound to update this thread with more of my questions.

Thanks in advance!
Carlo
