  • Installed my new radio today

    no pics yet...JUST A RANT
    ordered everything from Crutchfield
    Rip out my dash to install the radio and the infocenter
    radio works flawless, but the info center is another story
    the right half of the display is BLANK,,,,WTH
    for example i get the word TEMP but no Numbers
    Crutchfield says its a faulty display
    I know u guys dont believe that
    Any ideas..........

    Specs on radio and kit invloved? What makes you think it is not a faulty display? If it is the display why dont you just send it back to crutchfield for them to replace it?

      I 've never seen an LCD fail perfectly on one half (but i could be wrong)
      crutchfield is sending a new one tommorow, but it will arrive in 7 to 10 days
      so i figured maybe i can try something in the meantime

          I have that same kit, and when I swapped out my radio for a new one, I had the same problem! One side of the display was totally blank. I just unplugged it (the two white plugs), and plugged them back in and I got lucky and it's been working fine since.

              Glad to hear that you got it working correctly. How long did it take you to rip apart the dash again?

                haha yea I thought mine broke when that happened, I said no way this could have happened to this thing, after paying $120 for it and all.

                  realistically it took 20 min to get at the factory radio
