Default Headrest LCD Screen Question

I recently purchased a 7inch LCD screen for a headrest on ebay that runs off a 12 volt source (great for molex). THe only problem is that the model number on the back wore off or was removed so the manufacturer does not know the exact model since it is discontinued. Also I don't have the cable to determine whichs inputs are which (RGB, power, ground, etc) to solder and put the lcd into my case and connect it with a VGA or SVIDEO cable. Has anyone seen or used a lcd screen similar to this and know the pin layout??? THe only input is a 13 pin (in a single line) on the back of the device, it is from the company TRC.

Also the lcd screen has the standard LCD ribbon so maybe I could use a controller of some sort to plug the lcd into. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!! I can post pics tomorrow if required.

Bump for you.

Pics would probably help. I don't know what that connector is you mention, but I don't have a lot of LCD experience.
Sounds like you've taken it apart, are there any markings on the PCB to help you determine make/model or what the pins on the cable lead to?

I tossed it and grabbed one of those ps ones with the portable lcd screens, apparently soldering the pinout out is nearly impossible if you've never soldered in your life though :/
