ok well i ordered my first lcd today. 25$ FREGGIN dollars for shipping! what the heck, honestly, why is there no ground option? Anywho, i didnt pay for it, but still. secondly, heh, it took me 45 seconds to find the new topic button, might be more posts around here if it werent hiding in the corner.

welp,
ordered the 20x4 plain lcd. Going to be putting in my car. I'm also tearing a part a keyboard to do custom keys(also in my car). It's going to be awesome.

There is nothing we can do about the shipping. Thats why we have distributors. We do not pad or mark up the shipping, we give it at cost and some times even lose a small amount trying to keep the shipping as low as possible.

I'm doing a car MP3 player as well right now. What is the setup you are planing on using?
