tmartin000 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 At night I want the screen off. So, I hold the button down, Disply Off shows, screen goes off. Perfect. Some seconds later (5-7) it effing turns back on! Anyone else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingoftypos Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Are you on a navi trip? If so, it'll show up coming route maneuvers, such as a turn or what not. If not, do you have the beeps enabled? Does it "beep" when the screen comes back on, as if you touched it? Try to clean the screen with a damp cloth and see what happens.

KOT It was the Nav trip doing it. Funny, I'd have 82 miles before my next turn and it would still somehow trigger it. I'm bummed. When do you drive A LONG TIME? On a trip, and when do you want to use Nav? On a long trip. So, night time if you're tired of any extra light, you can't kill the display and use Nav and wait for audio to warn you of a turn.

kingoftypos Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I just tested my 7000 this morning to work. When I had a maneuver in 5 miles or so. The display stayed off until 1/2 mile to the turn. The voice actually spoke and finished the sentence before the display came back on. This was done when I turned off the display in maps. For the next test I changed it to the siruisxm screen. Shut off the display and the next turn was in 15 miles. Again, the display didn't come back on until the voice completed the sentence at the 1/2 mile mark. Perhaps you have an older firmware? Mine is up to date. KOT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tmartin000 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I did update mine two months ago, I'll check and see if there is a newer Sw version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingoftypos Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Actually, a day or two later mine exhibit the same as yours. So I have no answer as to why. I wonder if I started the the trip while stopped one day and the other I started the trip while in mention? I honestly don't remember. But it was the exact same trip, to work. I do know this. If I start the trip from my house. It sends me one route. But if I start the trip a mile down the road, it's s different route. If I were to wait another mile, it's back to the trip from the house. Despite all of the different areas, it's the same route that I take daily. I only make the route to keep an eye on traffic. KOT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tmartin000 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 This may seem like a small issue, but out here in Oregon, there are huge areas of nothing. So, light emitting from in front or to the side of you is really distracting. So, having some tunes and maybe a warning to potential turns is a huge plus. But if the screen won't stay off, it sucks. I've noticed that in order to dim the dang screen at night it would require you to turn up way back up during the day. The automatic dimming is really frustrating and ineffectual.

kingoftypos Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 You don't have the dimmer wire hooked up to the headlight/parking lights? Honestly, I didn't know that it automatically dimmed as I have my dimmer wire hooked up. I have noticed that the screen would dim down when my headlights turn on, automatic for my car, but the maps are still on daytime. But after several minutes it will switch to nighttime maps. My old Pioneer D-3 would switch the maps with the dimmer wire. KOT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abRoncs Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 My unit turns on the display when the Speeding notifications are turned on and I go over the limit. You can have several setting for this (visual and sound warning), maybe you only have the visual warning set and that is why it turns the screen on...the bad part is you can't have only sound warning without the visual.
