Not to hijack, but the LED upgrade for helm lights is a very worthwhile. One thing I hate is the brightness of the white light for the clarion remote on my dash. Thought about putting a piece of red tape over it. I usually only use it for volume anyway.
I have the Clarion head unit at my dash and it's the same way. I have tried putting a piece of break light repair tape over it - works ok, but after removing and installing a number of times it gets curly at the edges. And you have to remove it to see the display in sunlight. I'm actually hoping that my "Sirius three month free trial" that I got when I bought the boat in '07 ceases, so I can justify spending almost $200 to upgrade to the CMD5. The CMD5 is the same form factor as the CMD4a, would be plug & play with my amps, wired remote and sirius tuner, but I just want it for it's integral dimming feature - guess the other thing it offers is a wireless remote, but I don't need that.
