The Night Mode setting only has two options

Automatic (dark background and dim when your lights are on)

Day (always bright with light background)

First Go to Settings / Map Settings / Day  Night Display  then make sure you have selected Automatic mode. Otherwise it will always be in Day mode.

Now turn on your lights. If it still is always in Day mode, your Illumination wire is not properly connected. You can also test if it is connected by going to Settings /  Navi Settings / Connection Status. The Illumination status should say "On" when the car's lights are on, and "Off" when they are off.

If you can not fix the wires yourself you should take the car to a service shop.

Thanks for you reaction. The illumination wire is not connected, i know that. However, there is a shortcut function in the navigationscreen where you should be able to turn on and off the nightmodus manually. I find it extremly weird they give you this option when it can't work without the illuminiation wire connected. So i am curious if anyone knows a way to bypass the wire through the hack, and make the manual method work.

Good afternoon guys,

So i recently bought a VW with a F930BT installed. I managed to update the maps and firmware thanks to this site.
My only problem now is that the nightmode doesn't work. Yes i read something about an orange wire thats propably not connected, but i am no mechanic. I would like to know if there might be a way to bypass that and make the manual night/day modus function work. So i am not looking to make it automaticlly. I think its extremely weird that function doesnt work, since it shouldnt need the orange wire to be connected. Maybe there is something that i can do in hack modus?

Thanks

Thanks, working like a charm on my f930bt. Before i found this, i had a higher software installed. The hack caused my system to downgrade to 8.000. Now i have everything installed, can i safely update my system again to 8.6 though the official site? Or can this harm the system since i used the hack?

cheers!

He boys, recently bought a car with a avic f930bt installed. I got one big main issue; the night modus doesnt work. Ive updated the firmware but it didnt help. Now im thinking it could be that the map doesnt support night modus, but i think its unlikely. Anyway, i would love to have the files for the 2015 map or newer! And if anyone knows another way to solve my problem, please let me know!

Edit; Ive been reading something about a orange wire, thats not connected. But the avic has a 'quick acces' function where u can toggle nightmodus manually. It would extremly weird if you need the wire up to toggle the screen manually right? I understand its neccecary for automatic mode, but thats no must for me. I am not good with electronics so i prefer to not have to op the device. Is there another hack/bypass that allows me to toggle it manually?
