Looks like when I swapped the empeg from top to bottom it lost the illumination setting and also I may have dislodged a connection as it wasn't retaining the last played track and kept going back to exactly the same place.

So, I was prepared to pull it all out and check all the wiring except it suddenly starting to behave itself keeping the illumination setting and last position played. So I left it. Although I have noticed that I don't get the pulsating light when it is on standby.

The radio reception is also absolutely abysmal. Had the same problem with the empeg tuner in the last Freelander and the Alfa before that and yet the stock head unit radio is perfect. What's all that about?

Anyway, here's latest pics with all (almost) blue lens and buttons to match Pioneer. The plastic on the empeg matches the console plastic really well. Shame the Pioneer is so glossy.
