umm yea, all of them... its not worth trying to do. its not like your plugging in a RCA yellow/red/white cable into it. lmao.
You need to find out the LCD manufacturer, then search then internet for a compatible LCD controller board, Backlight inverter, Power supply, etc...
Go to earthlcd.com for more people telling you how stupid an idea it is/ i mean for more info.

Trust me when I say you will have 10X more fun climbing up on the roof and throwing it in the street than you will trying to "convert" it into a useable LCD incar screen. Do it. Just do it. Finkle says do it.
