--> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "Roland M" <mdx400@hotmail.com>
The main display on the C90 is a dot-matrix LCD, if I *think*. Because of
this LEDs likely do not light the main display. Rather standard back/front
lighting is probably used or it may use an EL (electroluminescient)
backlight.
I don't think there is much that can be done to improve the display. If
possible, the best thing to do might be to make some kind of hood/shade
around the HU to block out light. This may not be the easiest thing to do
though and depending on where the HU sits in your car it might not be a
viable solution, I suppose. I don't have a C90 but if I did I would
probably try something like that to stop outside light from washing out the
display...

You might be able to find surface mount, white, LEDs....
I own a MDX-C8900 and I feel your pain. During the day the thing is
invisible. XT-40V helps though :-)

This may be impossible. From what I understand, the LCD/TFT display that
shows the text/source etc. is made by Sony in house.
Its going to be difficult or impossible to replace it w/ one the same size &
spec, and just as difficult to buy that one part to replace a defective one
or to use in another project.
