BRZ Nav Dimming
 
I did a quick search on my iPhone and did not see anything, so I apologize if this is a repost. Is there a way to stop the BRZ Nav from dimming when you turn the lights on? When driving in the rain in FL lights have to be on and it makes the Nav hard to read during the day. Probably something simple I am missing. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I know this is pointless for me to say, but I did come across the setting playing around with the NAV in mine when I first got it. So yes, it is possible but I'd have to sit in the car and post over my phone later to tell you exactly where to go to set it!

That's something I want to figure out too, there are many times when it's getting near sunset and it's dark enough that I want to at least turn on the marker lights so the guages light up, but then I have a really hard time seeing the NAV screen, I did find an option to change the colors it's at when in "night mode" to be the same colors as in "day mode" but the screen brightness still dims, I really don't even need it to be full brightness either, just would be night to adjust it higher than it currently is.

Also it would be nice to be able to have the marker lights on whenever I want just so the LED lights in the headlights are on since the car does look even cooler with them on, but right now it's the choice between seeing the NAV screen or lights on.

Turn dash lights up all the way until there's a click. Not sure if that'll be 100% brightness but it'll be brighter.

Also change the mode switch to "by time" so it's not tied to the headlights for the map colors.

I have my dash lights I believe all the way up to the click and it's still dim, but I'll try the mode switch thing, is that in the NAV map settings?

Yep, forgot exactly which submenu though.

Ok just pulled over and set the night mode the same as day mode and also turned the dash brightness all the way up. That seems to work for me.

Thanks fellas.

Thanks, found the setting to change the night mode to turn it off :)
