Default ISX50 Dashboard Illumination w/Navigation - Photos

Does anyone have a clear photo [or point me to] of the nighttime illumination of the dashboard w/Navi - including the steering wheel controls...? I've searched this site and others and cannot find any complete photos.

Thanks for the photos - I didn't realize that the backlighting was green, even the steering wheel controls except for the instrument cluster; which I seen on-line. I was under the assumption that the rest of the backlighting was white or blue like the instrument pod – glad I asked for a photo.

Maybe it looks better in person but I'm not feeling that green at all – it this color accurate or is it because the photos is over-exposed…?

The first 2 photos look over exposed.

The green is well..... not that green. The green is much more sobdued.
I think it would have looked better in white or blue but it really doesn't look that bad in person. Doesn't bother me any.

I'll have to check it out in person, if it's more sobdued than it may look better - thanks for the photos

With your screen name, shouldn't you be more concerned with the audio & acoustics rather than the dash illumination ???

its not like that at all. snake has his dimmer set to on. at night, the nav turns to a black scheme and all the lights are dimmer, if the dimmer is set to max and not on.

Nice

Already own a ML system in my RX350 and heard the ML in the IS350 - what a system. Besides, was more curious than anything; definitely not a deal breaker. I'm sure it looks 100% better than the horrible orange color that my G had.

The green doesn't bother at all but I'd rather it be a matching blue or white color like the new LS and G have.

Ya the '07 G have some fantastic backlighting and uniform color across controls like you said. They did a great job on this compared to what they offered previously.

ummm well my green lights are really that bright if the dimmer is off

I like the dash illumination of the new LS it's this white-blue color which i would like to have in my dash too. Maybe anyone will make a mod on this

that would be kewl if there was a easy mod to change the colors. I personal would like it red. To me it's less distracting. Thank you also, for the pictures. I cannot wait to get mine.. <rubbing hands together and drooling>

Blue may look cool, but blue on black is a very difficult color combination to read. White would be far preferable.
