Anyone know if you can either change the illumination colour from amber to green or turn it off on a Sony 450 player?

Also can you turn the confirmation click off?

I've just disconected mine and now I get amber illumination of every button and an annoying clicking confirmation which I'm sure wasn't there before!

Thanks for any help!

Try holding down the mode key whilst pressing one of the preset numbers, that used to do it on my mates old sony head unit.

p.nicholas:

Ive got the manual but it no help!

DJFish:

Tried this on Tuner and CD but no effect.

The manual just mentions the use of the Mode button for selecting band on tuner or cd/md.

I've looked on the Sony web site but can't find anything!

I could always try the Nissan dealer I suppose as a last resort :rolleyes:

Fantastic! Lovely green to match my Autometer boost guage when I wire it up!

Ive got a 450 and guess what i've found it in the manual now too - page 14

I was looking for "click" not beep on the index and it doesn't mention illumination!

Well sorted thanks for the help!
