Has anyone thought of something to cleanup the area where the LED sits? I checked the AU boards, but couldn't find anything other than someone who made a cutout cover. Several companies sell a guage pack that sits above it in the speaker opening, but the LED is still visible. Any ideas? Thanks.

I use a clean microfiber towel with a dab of water to clean my displays like touchscreens, etc. I don't see why it shouldn't work for that either.

No my bad..... I wasn't trying to be a smarta$$. I got slightly confused. I thought that he meant that he was looking for a method to cleaning the display. I see what he meant now after you pointed out that I was wrong.

Sorry about that and forget about my previous post...

If you use GM's turn by turn "navigation" system, are the oil/battery displays replaced by text informing you of your next turn? Does it give you voice alerts as well?

I am pretty sure the Turn-by-Turn shows up in the DIC between the tach and speedo. Not sure on the voice.

yes it gives you verbal warnings, and the display shows up in the DIC. I agree that those battery and oil temp lcd display thingies have to go. maybe put in a frwd looking camera or ... who knows?

I'm really thinking to replace those with a Nav screen ala Mercedes.

Supposedly the GXP has different gauges for that area, hopefully we will know come Thursday of this week exactly what it has inside. Motortrend posted this info.

That's encouraging. WTH were the designers thinking in the first place? They should have put 6 analog guages in the dash like the Corvette or a 10 year old fbody :banghead: Time for my medication (hey mods where's the :chug: smiley?)

I wonder who will be the first to place an insert there with a couple of 2" analog gauges. Of course it all depends on the dimensions of the area
