So I had been pondering and pontificaiton on the issue of the overhead console.
What came to my attention today was that the LCD is a similar size, I think the make the KJ overhead console work in the XJ overhead console I will mount the LCD display in the same place, and then connect it via a ribbon cable to the driver board hidden up somewhere where the larger XJ console has room to hide it. I will have to add two buttons to the XJ console to control the KJ EVIC, but it should be doable.
I know its just one small part that will be years off, but at least I have it figured out, sorta, now.
The difference in the size of the LCD:
As you can see the control board is just too large to mount here, so if I solder on a ribbon cable I will be able to put the control board where there is room to hide it.
