It is bright, isn’t it?

The NAV display has a bright and a dark option, a DAY/NIGHT option; I use the dark option for night use since, as you say, it is too bright otherwise.

Mostly, though, I do not use it at all.

I turn it off altogether, leaving the panel dark and no longer the dangerous distraction that it can be.

Here’s how one turns it OFF:

Press the AUDIO button and HOLD it until a special “display” screen comes up. In the upper right corner, as I recall, there is a soft button labeled OFF.

Press this OFF button, and the display will go entirely dark and stay off.

...

You owe me a beer.
