as to retrofitting a pico projector, the electronic is not the problem, it's the mechanics, it has to be smaller than 8.5*8.5*1.65 cm. I did not remove the apron to see how much margin there is, but I do hope there's some so one can revise an alternate mounting bracket.
Also, for those in the US:

The only issue with out of the shelves product is the firmware, from what I understand it's currently designed to turn on with specific settings in place.
But when projector start to fail, I'm sure we will have engineer looking into options. I know I will if I'm affected.
