Changing to Type B display?

Post by fattail95 »

Hi there guys,

My Type C MFD is dying, and would like to know if changing to a type B display is as simple as removing the current one and installing the new one (just plug and play)? Or is there some work that needs to be done in PP2000?

Many thanks! :cheesy:

Yes, it's simple. Plug and play.

There is a type C on ebay at the moment, looks nice.... :cheesy:

The type B is a straight swap, you just lose the Sat-Nav ( obviously ) and one trip computer. It also means you don't need a remote to adjust the time and date.

Just ordered a type-B display. To be honest, I'd rather a more simple display that I can actually see, rather than a higher resolution display which I cant see!

The type B is more basic as you say, but you can at least change the bulbs if they blow.

How do you invert the display on the type-B?

i.e. from this:

to this:

As there is no remote to change it, do you do it with the buttons?

Its an option in the pp2000 you need it to change it on a type b screen, it can be done through the menus on the type c.
