G'day, my dads buying a new mazda 6, the only thing he doesnt like is the red colour on the display for the cd and climate controls, would an auto electrician be able to change the colour? are they just a colourd gobe or are they different in new cars, he loves the rest of the car, just not the colour of the head unit thingy.. the mazda 6 has that new tripmatic , manual and auto mode , its a very nice car for under the $35 k , he had an 2002 mazda 6 but was written off in a car acident, no fault from him, also i know with custom plates u have to hand them back to the rta if not on a car, but what happens with standard plates? milo > G'day, my dads buying a new mazda 6, the only thing he doesnt > like is the red colour on the display for the cd and climate controls, [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > also i know with custom plates u have to hand them back to the rta if not > on a car, but what happens with standard plates? In WA you can transfer them between cars, and you can get the DPI to hold them if you don't have a car to put them on, the same as custom plates. Changing the radio display colour will probably require pulling it apart and changing a dozen or more surface mounted LEDs on the circuit board. This is quite tricky work, and requires precision use of a soldering iron. Plenty of people have done this kind of thing before, hunt around on google for car audio websites. If you're not inclined to try it yourself, you'd probably want to ask an electronics repair place, they might have the right skills to do this job. Or just learn to live with the red colour. :-) > G'day, my dads buying a new mazda 6, the only thing he doesnt > like is the red colour on the display for the cd and climate controls, [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > milo > G'day, my dads buying a new mazda 6, the only thing he doesnt > like is the red colour on the display for the cd and climate controls, [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > also i know with custom plates u have to hand them back to the rta if not > on a car, but what happens with standard plates? If you f.ck with anything, you risk voiding the warranty. Yes, even for changing the dash lights. Ring up the dealer and ask them if it will void warranty, if not, get *them* to install the new lights to avoid any possible hassles down the track. Any manufacturer will try to get out of a warranty for the smallest thing. -mark >>G'day, my dads buying a new mazda 6, the only thing he doesnt >>like is the red colour on the display for the cd and climate controls, [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > -mark Unless the radio is intergrated(Like the BA Fords) or plays DVDs then spend $400 and replace it with an aftermarket MP3 player Kev > G'day, my dads buying a new mazda 6, the only thing he doesnt > like is the red colour on the display for the cd and climate controls, > would an auto electrician be able to change the colour? Tell your dad to stop being such a shallow bastard for starters. Then buy him a blue marker pen or whatever colour filters red to make it blue (won't happen) so tell him to stop being a shallow bastard. 8-) |
