Also, is there a way to turn the PTY function off and display only the radio station number? Page 104 of the owner's manual describes how to activate PTY, but not how to turn it off.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
If you have an 2004 early LED radio version the best thing to do is replace it with a later LCD version. That's what I did. The LCD backlit versiion is far superior to reading it during the daytime. It's an easy trade out. Use the radio removal tools, pull the current one our, disconnect and then install the new one. Took 5 minutes max and boy what a difference. I like the LED at night but during the day in most light conditions it was impossible to read. I bought an LCD for 75 bucks off a junked Xfire. You can find them even cheaper. Some members might have some available for sale on here. Good luck and let us know what you do.
