The display that shows what radio station you are on or what cd track # you are on is not back liy can that bulb be replaced or does the whole radio have to go!

Thanks

Aftermarket or stock deck?

Most aftermarket decks have LCDs that are lit by LED lights... I've never heard of them burning out, so I assume you'd have to replace the face.

Dunno about the stock deck since I don't have mine.

yeah i know, but right now if i could just fix a $2 bulb that would be better!

Anyone know how to change the radio bulb?

you can pick up a stock D1 radio head unit cheap as dirt on e-bay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3087124815&category=1498

Not sure if ther's actualy an accesable bulb. You might try taking the unit out and having a good play around with the facia.

Cheers

A friend of mine had two bulbs in an Alpine faceplate replaced, and they did the repair in house at the retailer (Sound Advice). I figure that if a tech at Sound Advice can pop open a faceplate and get it to work, then what do you have to lose?
