CIC compatible with NBT screen?

[Raffi]

I don't know if this topic has been covered or not but my CIC screen has a considerable about of dead pixels and I was curious if I'd be able to use a screen from an NBT setup. Anyone know? I think from what I've seen that the NBT connection has 2 additional wires on it, would I be able to splice wires from somewhere else in the harness to connect on the NBT fakra cable? I appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.

You can't.

CIC screen uses LVDS for the display connection. NBT uses APIX for the display connection. Two very different and incompatible protocols. Trying to splice one into the other would most likely damage the screen or the CIC.

Dracon, thank you very much for elaborating why they aren't compatible.
