Hi all – – first post.

I just bought a 2011 Accord coupe and noticed that on the radio display, the lower half which shows the temperature and compass is colored blue; the top half with the clock and the rest of this display is colored white. Any ideas what’s going on here and how to fix? Thank you!

 

I'm not sure something is broken. It would be strange if Honda designed it that way, but it is possible. Maybe search the web for images of the clock display to verify.

I think the displays have rows of backlights, so it is possible the bottom row had a problem and the backlights were replaced with a different color?

If this was my car, I wouldn't worry about troubleshooting unless it wasn't working.

 

Thanks!

Oddly enough, I found a used one for sale that did have the lower half blue. It’s the only one I’ve seen, but maybe they go bad after a while. Thank you!

 

I suspect that color difference is how they were designed where the blue is for the HVAC and white for the clock/radio?

Maybe some other members with 2011 accords with your setup can post on here to verify.

 

That would be wonderful. Thank you!

 

I'm pretty much convinced that it is by design. See video below.

 

Dang! Thanks so much; I would’ve never guessed that. I had a 2012 TSX and the display was exactly the same but all white. It had dual zone climate control as well. You guys rock!
