    Hello,
    I have a 2006 GrandPrix with a stock radio where the display is only half working. The left side of the display is dim, and the right side of the display works fine. Any ideas on how I can get this fixed?
    Thanks

    Need to replace an LED. Hope your good with soldering. There is a write-up on this site about it.

    Unless you want to go drop money on an aftermarket HU... including wiring that you need.... it's and easy simple fix.
