Hi
I would like to ask if there is an aftermarket display unit that fits and can replace the original unit. the reason that I would like to replace it is because the display is very hard to read, especially on bright days.
Thanx.

Re: C5 display issue
To the best of my knowledge, no, only the genuine ones are available (the same image "quality"). You could put a screen protect cover (like the ones you put on cellphones, tablets etc), which have anti-glare features

Re: C5 display issue
You might also want to check the light bulbs. I believe there are 3 in the display unit, and if one or more are blown it might make it more difficult to read at any time.

Re: C5 display issue
Hi
Thanx for your comments.
First, I didn't knew that the display's intensity can be changed. I'll try to find out how to do it and if that won't solve the problem - I'll try to check
the light bulbs. thanx for the link.

Re: C5 display issue
If it is the bulbs (and the display is the same as the one showm in the fillowing link), then this link shows how to access the bulbs;
