I'. m trying to figure out how to dim the lighting on the navigation/radio in my 2007 megacab. . anyone have any idea how to do this???,,,can't have the radio on at night it's so blindingly bright in there...

It should dim with the other dash lights. Is your dash dimmer in the full on possition?

i tried paying with the dimmer for the dash lights,,and it does nothing to dim the Nav/radio light,,,and that big screen gets pretty bright at night... . hopefully someone has the same nav display and can tell me how to do this,,sucks not being able to have the radio on at night. .

If it works like the MyGig radios there is a setting in the radio itself for daytime and night time brightness. The van that has it is not here right now or I would grab you a few pictures. Try "Menu", then "display options".

Also get the 3 letter code from the radio face and will try to find the correct manual for it.



I know you can turn it down, I have to run mine way down on the night setting driving after dark because it is a huge distraction if it is too bright.

Hi MIke
Thanks for the help... i'm not sure what the number is for the radio,,,it's the top end one,,with the navigation screen. . it says sales code REC...

Mine dims automatically when the headlights turn on. I haven't changed mine, but the brightness settings should be in the system setup, accessed by pressing the MENU button, IIRC.

Use this link, it's for a Jeep but same radio. After it finishes opening you want Page 49. That will allow you to dim it lower at night, if automatic is not dim enough you can over ride it and lower it more.
