I learned today that you can customize what your radio display says when the car starts, or the radio starts.

Mine says: Oh Hai!

I figured this would be a fun thread :) get creative?!

I took it apart and swapped the LED's and then used polarization film from Garage1217 to reverse the display to match the fuel and odometer displays. I also swapped the LED's in the passenger air bag indicator while I was at it.

ok sweet. I got the polarization film from him as well. but I cant figure out exactly how to put it on. Is there a certain way?

Yeah. You have to take the original film off of the display first. Believe me, it is there on the face. Then you have to figure out which side of the new film has the glue and the backing. Temporarily, without peeling it off, put the backing side of the film on the face of the display. In one orientation the display will not seem to change, in the other, turned 90 degrees, the display will appear dark. When the display is dark , the background will be dark and the info light, when the display is light, the background will be light and the info dark. It will make more sense once you start playing with it.

Obviously, if you are trying to reverse the display it will look different after you put the film on than it did before you started.

andyxdYou mean change the radio saying.? Yes you should be able to. Mine just says Scion. I didn't care to change it. I plan on doing LED swaps and all but need to wait until I can park the vehicle and that wont happen until my wife gets her a new vehicle around tax time.

Mine is updated to say: Cool Story Bro

Haha...it'd be funny to leave messages for shops that service them.

I have a 2012. Am I able to change mine when it turns on? I know I should totally go grab my manual but if someone has a quick answer that'd be cool.
