chrishill 0 Posted April 26, 2005 should be a simple one, by default the screen swaps between green text on a black background and black text on a green background every 30 seconds or so, I know i managed to turn it off in the past but cant figure it out now! its really REALLY distracting at night, every time it changes you cant help but glance at it. The instructions in the manual tell you to press func until some option or other comes up, but its not there in my func menu! help!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted April 26, 2005 Turn the HU off, but leave the key in the ignition Press I think number 5 (might be 6) and it'll say flip on/off or somesuch If it's not there, then hold down the func button and it'll load up the setup menu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 26, 2005 Press and hold the function button with power off. It then brings up a menu and I'm pretty sure it's in there. If not, press and hold 4.... that does something too IIRC....been a while since I've had a pioneer! Why do they put pointless things like that in car stereos? Ah Stinkus beat me to it..... mind you, it was his Pioneer I last did it on actually, LOL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted April 26, 2005 aahhh! I'll give that a shot later on mate, thanks! how silly am I not thinking of pressing the buttons with the unit turned off? I mean its obvious really isnt it? :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
