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.

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.

Yes, I am paranoid, but am I paranoid ENOUGH?

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;
