Hi all
Sorry for silence its been a busy few days.
I know that when the unit is turned off it shows a clock which you have to select, I have not yet worked out how to have it on the clock whilst playing, but Ill try now that Joe has said it's possible as I quite like the simplicity of the clockface.
Also there are controls on the unit (apparently to dim the dash and ambient lighting) so if you find it bright you should be able to dim it.
On the whole the media unit seems ok, sound is reasonable for standard kit. I noticed that to date no album art has appeared when using my iPhone, but I haven't had time to investigate this any further. I haven't used an SD card yet but have ordered a new one so will give that a bash this week and report back.
