Night Mode For Navigation

Chili Palmer · 04-15-2012, 04:22 PM

I noticed while driving my car last night that the nav screen stays in the day mode. I went through the menu and even checked the night mode box from the auto mode and it still comes up in the daytime mode. I've got the perspective set up in the non-2D mode - bird's eye view, have I missed something somewhere?

If you have the light switch in day time mode, then the whole car including the sat nav will be in daytime mode. If you have traffic information on map, then it will not show night mode (at least not for me)

What is day time mode? Off?

Maybe this is different in Europe and US. Here there is a switch on left side of the dash close to the door where you can set auto/daytime/parklight/etc. Here, when in daytime mode, then rings around the xenon lights wil light up, but just that. Dash, map and HUD wil also be locked in daytime mode then. Even if you drive in a dark tunnel or something.

I've got the headlights in the auto mode also.

But again, if you have traffic information mode on then you will get a grey map with no night mode. Is your map background grey?
