I posted this to the technical list as a query on the Mk II's. I figured it should probably be here, too, considering it's a feature I find desirable...

---------
Operating the Mk I while driving at night has proven difficult; the remote is not contoured and, as a result, I opt for the button cluster. I have a preference for button clusters anyway; storage/placement of remotes is always an issue.

When using the button cluster I have to feel around for the buttons in the cluster to use them because I've got no light to direct me. And, for obvious reasons, I don't want to turn on the overhead light and blind myself just to operate the unit.

I'm curious as to whether backlighting the buttons and the rotary knob has been considered for the Mk II. (i.e. Placement of internal lights in such a way that they shine through whatever display colour you've chosen and provide some light AROUND the buttons. I envision a knob that's both backlit AND has a dim light shining through a word on the pushbutton.)
