BMW X5 Sat nav
Discussion
Does anyone know of a fix for a dark screen on the sat nav on my X5. It has always been a bit dark but now of a night I cannot see the screen even with the TV on. However with the interior light on I can see it a bit better. Is there an illumination bulb within the unit?
During the day it is now very hard to see. The car is 02 reg.
Any help would be much appreciated.

There is a brightness setting in the secret menu for the screen, press menu and go into set (or settings), press and hold menu button for 10 seconds, this will push you into the "secret" menu, and its under the video module (i think) and you can adjust the brightness.
Also if you have the mk4 dvd nav computer, going to the latest version (v29) of the OS will also adjust the brightness setting.

Your being a great help. I am in the menu that you mentioned but instead of brightness I have contrast. Mine is in an 02 reg car, maybe I am still not in the right menu or my computer is slightly different, I have put up the contrast that has slightly improved matters.
Thanks again for the help
