Hello guys. Is it possible to turn off the 980 display but have the radio still on or is the brains for the radio part of the display panel ?
Wondering if possible and if it is how hard would it be to do? Tia
 

Just the back light sp5it. I would like to put the back light on a switch. Thx
 
The dimmer on the radio doesn’t get it low enough for you ?
I may go with the dimming / brightness control if i cant figure out an easy way to shut it off completely. I will be using the radio for something specific where it will be powered on for many hours a day so figured i could maybe save the backlights from burning out by shutting them off completely. So far i have not found an easy way to do this so may need to just dim it down and hope that will extend the life of the backlights.
