I would've got mine a while ago, but I waited a week or so to actually pay for mine.
I'm going to try to put it into the nav box since I don't have a nav screen. If it doesn't fit there, I have no idea where I'll put it.

I'm intrested to hear how you get into your Z, I was gonna buy it but was unsure of how I could fit it in the area where the base nav should go> I wanted to a screen that could fit in as easily as possible.

Well I took some time today after work and attempted an install. Basically it will fit if you pull the screen out of the plastic case it comes in. So you'll have to mount the screen using some sort of double sticky tape.
I pulled it completely out of it's case and it fits nearly perfectly. The only problem that I see is since you're pulling the screen out of the case you will lose control of the buttons on the front which are mounted on the front of the plastic case.. I'm gonna try to figure out how to fix this problem tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have a better answer and some pics.

Finally a fellow Z'er has purchased the Lilliput! Im very excited since I plan on purchasing one too.
jesseenglish...I dont know if you know this already, but the Lilliput screens produce alot of heat. I was thinking about the double sided tape install, but i am worried about the tape melting off after a while. To combat the heat problem you might be able to hook-up a fan or two to the speaker wires inside the Lilliput. I doubt you will be using the internal speakers that it comes with. Regarding your button problem, I believe the Lilliputs are supposed to come with a small remote. Im not sure if this remote can access the button functions, but if it can then I think your problem will be easily solved via remote.
Some questions:
What adapter plate are you guyts talkin about? What is its function?
How much did you guys pay for your Lilliput..including ship tax duty etc..??
What do you plan on using you Lilliput for (ex.GPS DVD Mp3)?
Have you guys made a carPC yet?

I heard that it does produce excess heat. It's actually a hitachi LED screen. I haven't powered it on without the plastic case yet, so I don't know how much heat yet.
Unfortunately the IR pickup for the remote is mounted on the plastic case also, so without it, the remote won't work either. I might end up cutting the plastic case so I can use the IR sensor.
I believe he's building a custom adapter plate.
I plan on using it for GPS, MP3, DVD, OBDII scanning, and logging of boost/RPM/TPS/Fuel Pressure/Air Fuel Ratios. My computer is assembled out of spare parts from various computers.

My screen was $300 including shipping.
I'm also creating a custom adapter plate for my screen.
It will replace the Bose.
Right now its attached to a goose neck mount which is bolted to the passenger seat mount.
I should be done with it this weekend.
I'll post some pics when it is complete.

I'm going to have to wait to finish installing mine until after I finish my move to Arizona. Hopefully murrman100 can finish his soon, so he can show you all the install. I just have too much stuff to do right now.

I scratched my adapter plate a bit. I was using an exacto blade to trim some glue off. Now I have to resand and paint.
Everything else is turning out good. Its a Athlon 2200 with 1gb of memory, 100 gb hd, cd/DVD rom drive, TV tuner/fm tuner card, wireless dlink lan card, Santa Cruz Turtle Beach sound card with 6.1 surround and usb connection to my sprint pcs cell phone.
I was worried about the pc overheating back in the glove box but it doesn't get over 100 and the shut down temp is set at 140.
I should be done by friday.
