Blue led dash conversion

Wow Dylan......mad Props to u sir


iPhone ?

 

I would have posted yesterday, but I wanted to be sure it wasn't this work that was giving me all the trouble.

 

Kudos. My soldering skills isn't great. The only thing I did is modify Playstation 1 during the old day. I see you got a helping hand.

 

Look what came in the mail today @Dylan Doxey & @Burna J




iPhone ?

 

What what

iPhone ?

 

Looks like I'm going to be doing a lot less standing around and running my mouth at the next mod party.

 

Sweet.....

Time for u to report to duty!

 

I recommend the 1206 Surface Mount LEDs for the AC module on/off indicators which are always at full brightness. The 3528 LEDs are pretty intense at night.

​

There are seven of them. The little ones in this image:


I suggest getting a dozen, just because.

 

Well, I decided to dive into figuring out how to change the green backlight LED in the Start Button.



Prying the outer cover off just requires some acrobatics with a couple of jeweler's screwdrivers.




The trick to getting the circuit board out is that you need to de-solder the ANT1 and ANT2 connections.



There are two LEDs in here. The smaller one is for the backlight. The larger one is the multicolor LED that does green/orange status indication. I'm going to leave the status indicator alone.




I fudged some longer leads in there so that I could use an Oznium 1206 surface mount for the backlight.

I wanted to get a quick bench-test before closing it back up. I found this diagram on a Subaru WRX forum. The pinouts are apparently the same.

 

What color is the G power button? I have mine just haven't installed it yet.

 

Backlight on the G's button is green. I'll be swapping that out next time I have things apart.

 

For the record, here is a complete shopping list with exact counts.

Hazard & Modes Module

4x 1206

​

(1x EV, 1x Eco, 1x PWR, 1x Hazard)
Note: Black hazard buttons can only illuminate in red. The red button can illuminate any color you like.​

AC Module

26x 1206

(6x for LCD backlight, 7x for on/off indicators, 13x button backlight)​

Park Button

2x 1206

(1x for backlight, 1x for on/off indicator)​

Power Button

1x 3mm LED
​

Steering Wheel Controls Left+Right

6x 1206

(+1x more if you have following cruise control)​

Mirror Control

2x 1206

(Not all mirror controls are illuminated.)​

Overhead Mood Light

5mm, 1000+ MCD, 20° (or less) viewing angle

Suggested part numbers (search the web/amazon)

• B4304H91 - red
• B4304H93 - amber
• B4304H95 - green
• B4304H96 - blue

(Although Oznium sells 5mm LEDs, they are unclear about the specifications. I recommend sticking with the above part numbers from whatever source you prefer.)​

Window Switches

8x 1206​

Seat Heat Switches

This type of seat heat switch requires 6x PLCC-2
(2x PLCC-2 if your switches are backlit only)


This type of seat heat switch requires 3x 0805 style LEDs.
(1x for center backlight, 2x for L/R indicators)​

The Passenger side Airbag/Seatbelt Indicators

5x 1206
(2x airbag on, 2x airbag off, 1x seat belt)​

Gas Hatch Button (pip)
kph/MPH Button (pip)
Solar AC Button

1x 1206​

Fog Light Switch (aftermarket)

2x 3mm LEDs

(1x for backlight, 1x for on/off indicator)
Alternatively, use 2x 1206 type LEDs to keep the look uniform with the rest of the retrofit.
​

HUD/Navi Panel (pip)

7x 1206

(5x for backlight, 2x for on/off indicators)​

Toyota Head Units

This type of head unit requires 58x 0805 type LEDs.
(2x for each button, 2x for each border, 4x for each knob)


This type of head unit requires 20x 0805 type LEDs.
(2x for each button, 2x for each knob & slot marker)​

Don't get exactly the right number. Get 10% extra because these tiny LEDs are easily damaged or lost during the installation process.

PLCC-4 vs. PLCC-2



Most of the Toyota LEDs are four lead common cathode, where the cathodes are indicated on the circuit boards with "K" and the anodes "A". My latest conversion with @Gaspeed was the first I tried with Oznium PLCC-4 LEDs.

It came to light during this conversion that the Oznium PLCC-4s are not exactly like the Toyota 4-lead LEDs.



So, that leaves three options:
A) use 1206 LEDs and ignore the second pair of pads
B) use PLCC-2 LEDs and etch out the K pad nearest the A pad
C) use PLCC-4 LEDs and rotate them 45 degrees so that you're only soldering in a cathode and the diagonally opposite anode.

I've found that option A is the cleanest solution.

 

Hey @Dylan Doxey got the shopping list in my hand, just checking make sure there is no changes...

I love what you're doing with your skills Bro.

 

I sent an email to Oznium about the issue I just posted about above. I suspect they're going to reply with something like "That's weird."
Whatever the case, can do the job just fine with PLCC-4s or PLCC-2s.

The shopping list above does not account for head-units and the window switches on the doors. I'm about to add a note to the shopping list for head-units.

 

I got the official reply from Oznium.
"It's possible to produce a custom pin layout but it only really makes sense if you can order at least 5000 pcs. Price for 5000 pcs will be around $760."
