This is great news. Was thinking about biting the bullet for a new screen, and now I just ordered the new LCD film instead!
Just wanted to add that you don't have to remove the ashtray and center console panel. You just need to pry off the air con vent below the MFD to expose the two screws. Don't forget to wrap your prying tool or screwdriver with electrical tape as not to scratch up the panels.
This video shows what I just explained and also how to further disassemble the MFD unit:
Also, for those of you still looking for a Sharp LCD screen, JDMautolink.com has them for sale. I am not affiliated with JDMautolink nor have I purchased from them before, but other than getting it from a guy on Yahoo Auctions JP, this seemed like the best option. If your MFD measures "kg/cm2", you need a Sharp screen. If it measures "kPa", you need a Toshiba screen.
