Dim Garmin Sat Nav

[bignoise]

Hi

Anyone had an issue with the Garmin Nav where sometimes the screen is so dim you can hardly see it?

Ive tried clicking on restore but makes no difference

Ive done a search but drawn a blank

Thanks in advance

I had this issue with a garmin portable unit. The problem was the setting for screen brightness had randomly changed to a % instead of being on auto. Might be the same issue?

Hi

cannot find any adjustment for brightness etc?

strange that sometimes it is a bright as it should be and other I can hardly see it?

It is in the correct mode ie daytime and playing with this doesn't seem to help

Mine goes dark when the headlights come on. A bit annoying when on automatic as you can hardly see what is on the screen. I think if you take it off auto then it will stop it happening, not sure though. Must look one day.

Thanks guys for taking time to reply

I was thinking along those lines but headlight switching made no difference and too old for auto lights

What I have discovered this evening is if I turn on ign and sat nav it was bright but work I started engine it dimmed down and never recovered?


maybe a battery issue?

All in all getting a bit cheesed off with this motor what with clutch failure on journey home from picking up, AC failure, emissions light, engine system light and now this

That does sound a bit st. Swap it for a better one .

Do the garmins have the "secret menu" that the older Volvo units have?
