Are there high SQ HU's out there that have good night displays?

The display illiumination mode would then be changed accordingly. If the wire is not connected, it will remain in either daytime or nighttime mode, whichever is default. Just a thought. Joerg

I know of a silly installer who also left that wire unconnected the first time Good Luck, Chris. 99 Se,MTX,TS. Formerly Dieter88, TbnPlr NEW ding guards !!

OP Immarocker Member I Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 36 Newburyport MA	Thanks for the reply. I do have some illumination. The smaller buttons running on the bottom of the HU that control stations and cd functions doesn't light up. The unit I have is the 55030. Do all the buttons light up on the 5506? thanks Immarocker 2000 Contour Black V6 SE ATX Moon traction control ABS still all stock but not much longer:-) Eclipse 55430 HU Eclipse DSP 2301 a/d/s P850 amplifier a/d/s 345is components front a/d/s A4im rear deck shopping for a sub. 1995 Contour Midnight Blue SE V6 ATX, 160,000 Miles and still strong as ever, Leather(soon to be switched to my 2000),traction control.
