Possible to change screen???

**Pauly** · 18-04-2008 06:18 PM

Hi all,

Just wondering if it was possible to change the centre console screen in the euro with a aftermarket one. But keeping the OEM cd stacker and radio etc.

I just want to replace the display screen but keep everything else. Is it possible to get an aftermarket screen that shows all the details the OEM screen shows, such as climate control degrees fan speed etc.

Thank you
Pauly

Not sure what you are trying to get....you want to get a new screen that shows exactly the same thing as the old one?? lol

That's the gist of what I got from his post too... makes no sense.....
I'd rather keep the original screen for AC, and then add an aftermarket single DIN unit in the centre compartment with a motorised screen.

the OEM screen has really dull lighting, and after getting tests done by honda i was told i need a new radio turner assembly as it has an internal fault that cannot be fixed. The unit is not supply power to the screen so it does not light up.

So i was wondering if it is possible to get an aftermarket screen, as honda charge $2,300 for a new radio turner assembly.

$2,300??

Shit!! That sucks balls. The screen on my teg cost me $15.00 for a new one (that being the clock in a DA9)

Hey, this isn't exactly what Pauly is after but regarding the DIN units I attempted to get a single din Alpine DVD player installed in my centre console, but because its so deep it just wasnt going to workout and it would've looked like crap. In the end i ended up getting a double din unit instead. After the custom install to blend in with the same colour as the rest of the centre panel it looks great.

Heres the link to the unit i got:

P.S. if u want pics of my setup let me know and just post your email addresses.

Does that mean you loose all the original CC screen info?

I'm sure someone that started a previous thread on this problem said a refurbished one was approx.$1000.

I have lost the use of the original six stacker/radio for now, but next week i'm getting an FM modulator installed so I will have control of both the original screen (6 stacker and radio) along with the DVD player. I'm going to see if theres a way to do it so the Auxilary can be used to switch between the two units, but FM modulator will still do the job either way.

$1000 is still a hell of alot. I would pay more like $600.
For $1000 you could get a great audio system installed.

I see, your unit has a fault that a few members here have had before. The remedy is to replace the circuit board behind the screen. $2300 is for the WHOLE radio+CD unit. Considered going to the wreckers? You don't need the CD unit, just the circuit board.
