Thats ok! We have been VERY close friends for quite awhile behind your back!! She won't be upset.

 

Like to see a pic of your android screen. thanks Ed

 

That's really cool! Thanks for posting!

 

Just bought a 2005 430SC, noticed the actual piece of plexiglass is coming off the a/c control unit. Do you think the company that did your repair could also replace the screen?

 

We made these lenses brand new. You can purchase and install yourself within seconds. Video is in our link

Perfect - I will order one tonight - watched the video, don't think I'll need the dental pick tool, mine is ready to pop off
with just a little tug!

 

Correction...tried adjusting the brightness of the screen at night, and it does dim with the control.

 

Tanin, My screen is cracked in the center and is very blotchy from the anti-reflective coating being scratched during cleaning. I'd definitely love to have a nice new screen cover installed, but to be honest am a bit nervous about getting the old one off without damaging the rest of the unit. Your video shows you pulling one off a junky looking old scratched up unit, and mine is pristine (other than the cracked and blotchy LCD cover)... Do you supply the removal tool with the cover? Do the replacement LCD covers come with self-adhesive tape? Thanks!

 

Yes they have adhesive.

If you don't want to pick at the side you can always drill one or two small holes in the lens and pull it out that way. Just don't accidentally drill into the LCD further down. You could also try some type of suction cup to pull it off. Lastly, a heat gun or blow drier sometimes applies enough heat to melt what adhesive is left and have it fall out. Usually they are pretty easy to remove, especially in the southern climates.

 

From the Tanin shipping envelope, peel off the white backing.

Now take a knife to gently lift up the black membrane to expose the clear panel underneath.

Then simply press into the anti-glare shield onto the LCD screen display. The black edge that borders the clear panel has an adhesive gum that attaches securely. Whole job takes less than 2 minutes.

 

Very nice. Quick and easy.

 

NIce, very nice!

 

Are you happy with your Pioneer? Would you recommend it?

Sorry for being off topic. Maybe you or somebody else can help me. I'm searching for a new stereo. I've been reading reviews about Pioneer decks but they are useless hype. All the positives are covered and they rarely mention the drawbacks.
The DMH-1500NEX head unit landed on my short list. From all the blogs that I've read one stood out. The blogger was hyper critical about all brands and put me on the fence. Well this Pioneer review was OK until I've reached the shortcomings section.
Does it really take 30s to load? How hard is to install these units anyways?

Any tips?

 

Do you have the BEFORE Pic?

 

Hey Mandyfig - if you scroll up on this thread you'll see the BEFORE pic, the faceplate had started lifting off, I was afraid it was the actual LCD screen from the climate control but turns out its just an anti-glare shield that decays with age. You literally just peel it off the unit and slap on a new one (99.00). CapeMayDoc
