It's basically unreadable during typical sunny or daylight conditions.

I have the standard XLT radio and it's nearly impossible to drive and figure out what time it is or what radio station is current.

Is there a brighter display or bulb fix in place?

 

Tint your windows

 

No bulb... Ralph has the right idea!

 

Do you drive with your headlights on? It may sound like a dumb question, but I do. When your headlights are on, the readout on the radio is not as bright. They figure that if your headlights are on, it's probably dark, so they dim the readout.

Just a thought.

 

Thanks for the legitimate response Tuff.

As a matter of fact, I do drive with my headligts on quite a bit. I'll check out your theory soon.

 

I know...I freakin' rock!

Kidding. Let me know if it works, I am curious if that's what it is.

 

Seriously - if none of your windows are tinted and that sun comes in and shines on your dash - your gonna have a hard time seeing the radio with the headlights on or off... there is no bulb, it's an LCD display.

 

Driving with the headlights on does dim the radio display. You'll have to turn up the brightness using the **** next to the headlight switch.

 

Turn the brightness up...... It's on the left side.....
