Hi.
I didn't touch mine. It is stock, the way it came from the factory. I
haven't even taken the plastic off the display! The only change I made to
that radio was to put jumbo rubber feet on the radio to increase the air
flow under the radio. I thought that would just make the radio run a
little cooler, and it seems to work.
