i am trying to decide on whether to buy the NK204 or the LCD2041. Also, once I decide, which should I get, wide voltage or standard. I am hooking it up to a 233 dell laptop. Can I run a power cable for that from the computer? Or how else could I power the LCD?

Thanks for your quick responce. I can't wait to get my MP3 car system up and running...

I just came here and have not looked around too much, but I would appreciate it if someone could tell me:

a) Are the serial cables attached when I receive my product? If not, would Matrix Orbital make an exception for me?

Thank you very much. That clears up my question.

Hey again, I am new to this... I am sure I am just asking a stupid question, but I will ask anyway, because I CAN... How exactly does the keypad work? Like does it send commands to the computer? Or just to the display?

hello, I am creating a car mp3 plyaer... I want to know if I use a laptop, is there a way of getting a powersource for the 40x2 display out of the laptop? In other words, how?
