Navigation Screen Night Mode?

[HNTMUP]

Recently took delivery of my new 17 ORP. First vehicle that I have owned with a built in navigation system. Went for a drive this evening and when driving with the map on the screen it's pretty bright. I've looked through the manual but I didn't see anything to indicate there is a "night mode"?

Thank you,

JDG

Adjust the dimming feature to the left of steering wheel.

'Night Mode' should come on when headlights turn on, which you have to do manually in the 4R.

It doesn't. Is there anything I need to do to activate it?

As stated twice above it's the dimming switch

I guess I misunderstood your statement that night mode would come on when I turned on my lights.

It's a dial left of the wheel, screen backgrounf will be black. Makes a huge difference!

Night mode comes on when headlights turn on. If your dimmer switch is clicked all the way up it will prevent night mode for your gauges, and navigation screen.

Sorry to ask, but is there a way for the navigation to stay out of night mode when my headlights are on, without having the wheel all the way up?
I like having my dash lights dimmed at night, but I find the backlighting on the navigation screen to be too dark for my preferences.

Haha yes just turn the dial back up

I assume it is now different with the Entune interface, but my 2011 Nav has a night mode I can switch it into. I believe it's in the display settings for me, I use it occasionally, I can also turn off the display completely when driving late and trying to get my kids to sleep. Could check the manual to see if any of this is still in the menus somewhere for you.

Bingo! Thank you!

I have this exact same issue EXCEPT adjusting the "light brightness wheel" to the left of the steering wheel has no effect. I feel like an idiot but I can 100% guarantee that the click wheel is not all the way up. I want to say that the first week I had the vehicle, night mode worked. Now, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get it to switch. I've looked in the manual and the secondary Entune system manual but haven't found anything. All the solutions I've found here point to the click wheel. I'm also in a 2017 TRD Premium. Any suggestions?

I too drove around for two days. The little brightness wheel for the dials does enable night mode on your navi screen. I promise! Try it again!

There is also a DAY Mode. On the home screen hit the gear/settings in top right corner, then display (top right of the 8 buttons), then the day mode button at the bottom center of the screen. This will prevent the unit from dimming even with headlights on. You can also adjust both day and night brightness settings from this menu.

And that also means that if you dash dims just fine and your nav screen doesn't, you need to deselect the DAY Mode button or dim your night mode settings.

I know you're thinking to yourself, "this guy's an idiot" but I confirmed again early this morning that the brightness wheel has no effect on the nav screen. Just to make sure it wasn't the light sensor picking up a porch light or something, a laid a towel over the center of the dash to cover up the sensor. Turned the vehicle on, turned on the headlights, and rolled the wheel all the way down - turns off the dash lights. Still nothing. I played with different spots on the brightness wheel and still nothing.

Someone above mentioned the day mode that can be accessed through settings...I only have two options under Display settings; General and Camera. Tried in park, while moving, headlights on/off, and still only two options.

This can't be this hard...what am I missing?

You'll feel it click when it's a the way up - try with headlights off and passenger seat belt buckled

Yep, feel it click up into the "always on" state and click again going back down into the brightness control state.

Will try again with passenger belt buckled and headlights off tonight. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll let you know how it goes.
