This isn't a new idea. If you want to simply remove the display completely and remote mount it, it's not recommended. Hugo's last response on the subject is here.

I don't think you could "Y" it off to an LCD display without a significant amount of circuitry and work- you'd basically be duplicating the entire display circuit board but driving an LCD instead of a VFD. That's a lot of work.

A more logical option would be to use the unit's serial interface to send commands and retrieve track titles, but even that would be a great deal of work, and you'd be better off just buying an MP Shuttle which already does this. Before you do, though, talk to MComb on this BBS who already owns one- he had trouble fitting it with a large-capacity hard disk last I heard.
