Does the Z2 automatically dim at night like regular Nav units? All my portable and OEM units dim the background at night, but my Z2 does not.

 

Thanks

Did you hook up the illumination wire? Map background won't know when to go dark if you didn't

I thought i did, I am using a gmos-04 interface and it has an illumination and a dimmer wire. I hooked the Ill wire up but I will double check to make sure as I need to take it all apart again for a remote start install.

 

Thanks

In adition, you also have to set it to automatic to switch automatically...

 

To improve the visibility of the map during the

evening, you can set the timing for changing the

combination of the map colour.

1 Touch [Map] in the navigation menu.

2 Touch [Day/Night Display] to change the

setting.

Each time you touch the key changes that setting.

Automatic*:

You can change the colours of a map between

daytime and nighttime according to whether

the vehicle lights are On or Off.

Day:

The map is always displayed with daytime colours.

❒ To use this function with [Automatic], the

Orange/white lead of the navigation system

must be connected correctly.

❒ You can also change the brightness of the

screen between daytime and nighttime

with [Dimmer].

P.S. in the hardware menu, you can see if the illumination wire is hooked up and working without having to pull the unit out.....

When you say it says "on" I assume it toggles on/off with switching on and off the illumination/lights .....
