boberto00 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Not sure why it didn't work, or how it works. All I know is that with the lights on, I set the brightness to what I would like it to be with the lights on. Then with the lights off, I set it to how I would like it with the lights off. You may have to go back to the main screen between setting the two. I didn't have to but others here have said its nessesary. Which AVIC do you have? Oh its actually settings > system settings > picture adjustment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mangostick Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I have a F700bt. I ran through the procedure that you described again last night.. and went back to the main screen between settings.. still same. No change. I just keep it set at what is comfy at night and for the most part its ok during the day unless the sun and/or glare is right on it. I'll have to dig into this further. Anyone have a pin out of the harness and connector? .. I'd like to verify that if I can find a accurate diagram. Mine didnt come with much for documentation when I received it.

soundbybass Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 06 Cadillac STS is radio harness Yellow(dimmer) + trigger IDK what kind of cadi you have but just let me know also the reverse also helps with not only the camera but the nav as well better tracking when on the move if you know what I mean Reverse wire is LT GREEN + trigger under driver side rear seat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mangostick Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 ... oh, nah, no caddy (would be nice ) lol.. its in a toyota. I verified the lighting feed wire before I put the unit in the dash .. so it gets +12 on the orange wire when the headlights are on. I need the pinout for the F700BT harness where it plugs into the back of the unit. If I can get that I can completely verify the hardware connections and start bangin around with the software. I had read somewhere that the F700 didnt have dimming capability.. but that doesn't sound right to me.. anyhow I'll keep diggin and report what I find Thanks for all the feedback! any other Idea's I'm all ears.

boberto00 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have a F700 as well. Dimming works fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ctsmith Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I've just installed a 700BT into a 06 Jetta. When I turn on my lights, the display gets a bit brighter. Not exactly what I had expected. I have to use a PAC adapter to interface with my car's computer so the wiring is really straight forward. Still, this doesn't seem right. Any ideas? Thanks.

ctsmith Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Figured it out. Turns out to be a U.S.E.R. error. Didn't realize that the very same illumination intensity control gives independent control over the display brightness with lights on vs with lights off. Just adujsted the display to what I wanted with the lights off then, turned my lights on and made the adjustment again for what I want with my lights on. Viola! It works fine. Nice little unit.
