My display is fading on the left 1/3 of the display on my 05 GXP.
Is there a how-to on the radio removal? I saw one on a 2000 on this forum, Is this the same.

I had read that most likely this is just a solder that is bad.
What should I expect to pay to repair this ($100?)?
I plan on just having it repaired locally, but I would like to take out the radio myself.

Thanks in advance

the radio comes out the same way in your 05 as it does in the 00 no clue on repair costs

Lots of us with varous years (especially the 00+ guys) have had to replace the bulb behind the LED display.

Do a search for radio bulb or similar and you should be able to find the answer.

I found this thread. It seems it could just be a bulb.

It appears that I can remove the 05 GXP radio without having it reprogrammed?
Thanks again!

Yes, that should do it.

I've changed a couple bulbs in the 97-99 models and overall it'* straight forward.

Thanks for the replies !!!

Okay, I took it in to a local stereo shop. They confirmed it'* the bulbs and not the display.
They said $135 to solder a couple bulbs in. Sounds like a lot to me.
They said it will take 2-3 days to get the bulbs.

You think Radio Shack would have these blubs... Heck, I'll just solder them myself?

Any input would be appreciated.

The Shack'* bulbs arent as bright as ours. I know there is a website that you can order the right bulbs from. I'll find it and post the link. It'* best to just replace all three bulbs while you have it open

I did some digging. Here is the website.

Pontiac display bulbs, all three of them

Thanks a ton. It says up to 2004, but they look the same as the 2005.

Great rkr
