Hi Rohan,

Has your unit failed or maybe missing the O/E unit/fitment ?

I may be able to help out, but IIRC correctly the display bulb/s are possibly burnt out on the head/units I have (But I will have the codes) !

I'll try and check my spares stock out tonight/tomorrow and report back !

I have one with burnt out bulbs as well if you wan one.

Though to be far a decent aftermarket unit slots and connects straight in and adapters are cheap enough for the wheel buttons.

But doesn't look half as nice as they original... [emoji1]

Besides, if you happen to have the LHD display that can display radio messages as well, you won't get that with any aftermarket or new unit.

Problem with mine is that the display seems damaged- it's still bright enough but there's no visible symbols anymore. And when you need to input the code...it just doesn't work!
I take it these ones being offered are still legible despite the blown bulbs?

The display being blank means it needs the code. Do the buttons work?

I can't tell, there are no beeps when I try and enter the code "blind". I think I somehow damaged the display when removing the unit as it was ok before. I removed it to get the product info so that I could get the code- I lost it somehow!
