2. An LCD Panel Assembly which is composed of a die cast aluminum frame and a 5.6 inch backlit TFT LCF Active Matrix 4 color flat display. The LCD is designed so that it can swing down from the frame which is positioned above and in front of the passenger. The display has all the imputs for video and on screen control

3. A two-stage backlit membrane control panel, as well as cables which interconnect the various components of the system. Each component of the system is specifically made to work with the other components of the system
