What do you guys have your brightness set to? I notice that it automatically dims/brightens depending on outside light condition. I used to have it set at the halfway point, but found it was getting a bit too dim when in the shadows, so I now have it set at the 3 quarter point, which has improved it, only, the downside is, at night, it's a little too bright. There doesn't seem to be a sweet spot for me.

Curious as to whether people have theirs set at half way, less than halfway or full brightness?

I have mine at half way/ lower then that!

I have a button mapped to turn it off, although that doesn't switch off the backlight

What do you mean?

I have one of my buttons set to turn off the display, which turns it off completely.

I usually do this at night, if I'm not using it.

Are you finding all the menu's too bright or is it just the map?

[SC04OCT]

All the menus. Not too bright, but too dim during sunny days in shaded areas (when set at the halfway point)

I have a shortcut button on the steering wheel set to turn the display off at night....

How do you do that?

[edowen]

RTFM

You can allocate the two soft keys on the steering wheel or the 8 memory buttons on the dash to do all sorts of things.

Yeah, I've used up all my 8 buttons on the dash, but how do you reprogram the ones on the steering wheel?

[edowen]

Its in the car settings somewhere. I'm talking pre lci with the star and diamond buttons

[SC04OCT]

Mm. Mine's a 2013 and it has different logos on the buttons than a star and diamond. Does this mean I can't do it?

[edowen]

Sorry I think you can only use the 8 in the centre or voice control

Mine only turns the screen off. It seems the backlight stays on.

I don't understand what you mean? How can you have one without the other? Confused!

Because the screen is illuminated by a backlight, the screen switches off but the backlight remains on, giving a grey glow to where the screen is.
