I'm still having this problem - I have to turn the display off at night because it's so bright. As I wrote last year, it was going into night mode when the lights were on, then it stopped working. At some point it was working again for a short time I've got the dimmer wire tapped to the cigarette lighter illumination +12V, so I know it's getting +12V when the lights are on because I see the cigarette lighter illumination. The firmware has been upgraded a couple of times, so in addition to new software, it's been reset at least twice. Anyone else have this issue? I'm reluctant to pull t

My car's harness (02 CLK55, comand 2.0) doesn't supply illumination so the common practice is to tap into the wire that illuminates the cigarette lighter - it's +12V when the lights are on. It was working, now it's not. I only changed it once, so I don't recall exactly, but I'm certain that on the picture adjustment > dimmer page the icon changed from sun to something else (moon?) when the headlights were on, switching between day/night settings based on the voltage on the illumination wire. I pulled the HU and checked the voltage - it's still +12V when the lights are on, 0V when off.

Thanks for all the replies. By 'stream' I mean BT streaming. The main reason I swapped out the COMAND unit from my recently acquired 02 CLK55 was so I could BT stream again. Well, that and the ever-elusive CarPlay. I use iTunes Match but I usually wait until I've got WIFI to fetch albums, and only occasionally downloading an album when LTE'd. My last car had a single-din Alpine unit and I never found navigating music all that practical - I used the phone. I've just (partially) installed the NEX6000 iand haven't played with it much - one this I noticed is that while I was getting al

I usually stream off my iphone, but would like to give a sd card a try. If it works out (if navigating through albums doesn't drive me crazy) I'll move up to larger a capacity device. Can anyone recommend a workflow to get selected albums from itunes (on mac) onto an sd card, properly sorted, with album art? I've done searches, found mention of drivesort (I can get to a PC) and making sure album artwork files sizes aren't too large. Thanks - Mark
