When I set the display to off my I-Drive backlight stays on,

Hence on a night it is still illuminated which seems very odd, this makes the display off feature almost pointless

Has it been fixed on a CIP update?

Thanks

 

No - I think this is how it is meant to be. Annoying isn't it.

Only answer seems to be some idrive curtains.

 

I find that the backlight is not as bad if brightness turned down via Idrive display settings, ( before switching off display ), or by dimming dashboard lights via the little wheel.. hope this helps

 

Little wheel isn't a problem, but if you turn it down by idrive you have to fanny around and turn it up again or you can't see the screen in the day

Get used to it though

 

The glow when iDrive is "off" bugs me too. Still manages to distract me every once in a while.

 

AFAIK, there is no software to turn it off completely. However, with i-Drive interface from navwithtv, we can do that with a simple switch of your choice.

 

The screen still glows even when its off because its a LCD.

I'm sure you're aware of the debate of LCD vs Plasma TVs? In that argument the plasma supporters always talk about how LCDs can't reproduce true black. Now you see why...

 

Except that, LCD's don't glow when they are OFF only when they are showing BLACK.

Why can't the screen just be turned OFF ??????

 

wire a switch in? find the power wires and wire a switch through them, it's not that hard.

 

As said if you turn the brightness down on the I-Drive it goes completely black so why can't they make display off feature turn the brightness down to the lowest value as well.
