2009 Radio lights ? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I skimmed thru the MOD's message and didn't see too much about radio except removal / installation. Maybe I looked to fast...

Is there a "Dang this radio is going to blind me it's so bright" MOD ??

Thanks guys (and / or Gals)

use the dimmer switch and dim it down.

well then the speedo and tach lights are dimmer than I want... I'd like to 'disable' the dang lights in the radio so I can crank-up the speedo and tach...

Toyota really messed this one up IMO...

I may have to change the radio to aftermarket. That radio is HUGE too... Well thanks. As I said Toyota really messed this one up.

I don't fall for the media-hype (Union) that Toyota quality has gone downhill lately, but I have seen some indications on my own that this is indeed occurring. Seen a 2010 Corolla ?? Since they moved the factory to Canada from Fremont, CA the paint jobs suck ! I test-drove a Corolla in metallic red that was single-stage paint with no clearcoat it looked nothing like my beautiful Camry.

Quite disappointing. Also I hate the 'piston-slap' on my new Camry when it's cold. My '94 didn't do that...
