[Azzamataz]

My car is due to arrive, and on the documentation it states its an MY11. I optioned the audio pack and comfort pack so do i have the new white backlit controls. It will suit my rcd510 much better

It will have the blue-lit climate control if it is already made. The black/white display is only on cars manufacruated from week 2 of 2011.

When you say week 2 2011, what stage of the Production Schedule do you mean? My car has items in the production schedule either side of week 2 2011.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Would it be hard to change a light bulb somewhere, if the only difference is the colour of backlighting?

I find it funny how the poms get a Sunroof when their weather does not favour such a great accessory (English summer) last time i remember i think here in Australia we have more Sun Saturation then they do thus more (logical) reason to have it here first.

Quite stupid to be honest.

Actually it's stupid the other way, we get plenty of sun in Australia so why the need for extra light in the car during the day whereas in the UK they don't get as much so any additional light would be welcome.

Changing a "bulb" isn't possible.

The old one is a positive LCD and the new one is a negative LCD.

Actually the take up of Sunroofs in Europe is inversely related to hours of sunlight. Areas like spain and southern italy also have low sunroof takeup rates. Who wants to let more sun in on a blisteringly hot summers day?

damn it polo...ruin my little ashes jab at the poms ...also they're a pale bunch of people, any bit of sun they can grab they flock to the beach like seagulls.

I figured that out already, thanks anyway... At least it matches my base model factory stereo at moment.
