"tick" to watch.

Do remember that if you have a (MID) SatNav and computer screen display, I believe that will always be amber, even if it is a colour screen like mine the text will be orange.

You can change the colour scheme on the CID with Tech II I believe.

I thin this is limited to "dark" & "light", I don't think that you can configure it to be blue text.

No it hasn't got back lights, it is essentially a LCD TV screen.

I was under the impression you could use anything from the colour range, TB will know for sure.

Trouble with the blue LEDs, apart from looking gay, is LEDs are suitable for indication, not illumination.  And they have a narrow output beam. Add to this that blues are all ultrabrights.

So, you end up with very bright, distracting indicator lights, and poorly backlit stuff.  MID in particular is difficult to read during day.


As to CID, obviously its backlit with CCT, rather than bulbs, and colours down with filters.  Colour changing only available by software, and Tech2 only allows 2 settings - and unusable one, and the one you have.

Cheers, non gay "man's" amber it is then

You do have a way with words sir; these poor guys have spent months making their lights blue!
