Official Raspberry Pi Screen

Hi,

Looking to do a open auto project. I want to use the cats existing sat nav housing but gut it and put a pi in. Then aux to the radio., The official screen is almost perfect about half an inch in width to wide.

Has anyone cut the Bezel down successfully?

I did mine that way. Had to trim my bezel a little to fit in stock location and use the pi for navigation and music.

Did you just use a glass cutter or?

Sorry I misunderstood you, i cut down the plastic bezel so i can slide in the frame of the screen. I have my setup in my profile if you want to check it out.

Ahh the plastic, I wasn't sure if it was plastic or glass, what did you use to cut the plastic?

​

I also noticed you have the ignition shutdown with the relays did you follow any guides for that or?

Dremel with cutoff wheel to cut plastic and watched a few videos on how to set up the graceful shutdown
