    Do-It-Yourself Navigation screen does not dim at night

    I have stock Nav system in 2007 Landcruiser and it has stopped dimming at night. Does anyone know how to correct this? Thanks, Dave

    I am just taking a stab at this one...
    Do you have auto on/ off headlights? If so, making a change to their setting might be the culprit that caused it to "stop" dimming...
    Try messing with the headlight setting at night and see if this changes the brightness on your screen.
    I learned this on my old F250- if the headlights lights were on Auto, then all the gauges, etc would always stay at the dimmer setting.

    Thanks for the help, but it was something else that provided the fix. I have to admit it was my wife that figured this out and it was as easy as reading the factory supplied manual. I had the roller switch that controls the brightness of the panel lights clicked to full blast. Years ago this would have turned on the interior lights, but this didn't happen in 2008, instead it just kept the nav on daylight brightness. Just clicking this roller switch just below the speedometer display turned the NAV back to night time.
