Nav screen lighting problem
My nav screen, just yesterday, started to stay bright (daytime mode), regardless of the headlights being on, the wipers being on, or it being dark outside. No amount of manipulation seems to correct the problem. Am I missing something or could it be that a gremlin has popped up? Any suggestions, short of selling the car, will be gratefully appreciated...

Hey John, in the midst of a drunken, or drug induced, stupor, I may have been punching buttons just for the heck of it (or, I may just be an idiot). In any case, the "DAY" mode had been selected. THANKS for your suggestion - it fixed the problem.
