Stock radio backlight change
Anybody get their backlight on the stock radio changed to white?
I can't see the display worth a damn at night with the stock red, and was thinking that the white would be easier to see and match my gauges.
Thoughts?????

IronCross Audio can switch the backlight color for you. They also can install a IPod cable or they have a Ipod interface that works like Harleys for 1/2 the price.

Iron cross did mine. Not the best picture but you can get the idea. The white is so much easier to see in both day and night. something else that i didnt know is that you can set the display in the advanced menu to day, night, or auto! i keep mine on day.

Thanks for the feedback guys. BadBagger, thanls for th link, I had planned on snding it to Iron Cross once the bike is away for the winter, I have their iPod interface already and it's great. iGlideUC, thanks for the pic and the confirmation that the white is better. That red and my eyes just don't get along! I'll have to check on that day/night setting, how do you access it?

I believe it's red so your pupils don't constrict looking @ it @ night & causing you to temporarily lose your vision . It's a lot more light than the gauges. It's a safety thing.

Turn on Radio
Press 1,3, and OK button at the same time
Use the up arrow button to scroll to Diagnostic photocell
Use change button to set desired change
press Exit
Iron Cross will hook you up with this once you get the leds changed out.
