SSI Neo 35 MP3 display working on Arduino.

I had this display laying for years, not having the MP3 player it was meant for, i wanted to use it for something cool, so it's gonna be used on my Makerbot 3D-printer for interfacing it. Here you see the display connected up to an Arduino Mega - deciphering the pinout of the connector in the back was pretty tough, and i'll share it here for other viewers if they want it.

Whoa! I'm gonna have to bookmark this one just for the pinouts... That could be extremely useful! Could you also tell me which pins you hooked up to which I/O on the Arduino? I've got one as well and want to experiment ;p

@AK49BWL I just used the suppled Liquid Crystal example, connecting the LCD to Pins 12,11,5,4,3,2 and tied R/W to ground. - Nothing special :-)
