Clock/radio LED fading

Post by Auscal »

The LED display for the clock/radio has gotten so faint as to be unreadable on my 06vibe, Any suggestions for a fix to this, or an idea of what it would cost to get it done?

Upgrade to a modern head unit, or fix the old one (involves some soldering). There are some tutorials in this forum.
