Yes, I have the kit, and the included display.

The latter; the background of each 'character' is black, and the text is slightly less black. If it were not lit, I would be able to read the negative image, I think.

I tried with the computer USB again; works just fine.
When plugged into the car, I scrolled through the contrast settings. Every 3rd or 4th time the lcd backlight turned off and I just saw solid dark 'characters' across the screen.
Thank you for the help!
