Hi Guys,
I have a 2005 545ia and have noticed that the Navigation screen does not seem to automatically change brightness based on night or day. Is there not a sensor that does this automatically? I noticed in the idrive menus that there is an adjustment for brightness but it only has a dim to bright scrolling option that seems to be the same brightness regardless of day.
Any ideas or other way to adjust settings?
Thanks in advance!

The iDrive gives you settings for brightness (at least the LCI does).

Yes, I did see the setting for brightness but it seems it is only 1 setting for both day and night. On the navigation system of our 2004 Acura MDX, there was a noticeable difference once you turned the lights on. Seems not to be the case on this system.

I'm going to have to play around with a torch/flashlight regarding that sensor...I was sure it was headlamp related!
