Is there anyone out there who is having problems with dim display? Is there a way to increase the brightness?

If you mean the information small box's on sat nav screen I would definitely like to know as I can't read them, even with my glass's on!

The brightness is adjusted via the BC button on the indicator stalk.
Same as this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSsv-PVC5FM

If you mean the iDrive screen then no idea!

Welcome BTW!

Thank you
The iDrive screen on my 3.0i is very dim and want to know if it could be improved. The adjustment if set to full.

Is there a night mode?
Im sure I have read somewhere that you can set the idrive screen to night mode.
Also Im sure I have read that if your lights are on it can go into night mode.

It should automatically do that

Hi Dave
Thank I'll look into it. I usually have the lights on auto and I'll try turning them off.

Mine was misbehaving like yours, I got it changed while my car was covered by warranty direct.
They cost around £2500 plus labour, like rocking horse poo to find second hand....

The iDrive screen has night mode? I am pretty sure mine hasn't done that in the 3 years I've had the car, its always bright. Is there a setting for this?

AFAIK you can explicitly set night mode on the settings screen..the normal ‘positive; display may or may not dim with headlights..can’t recall it doing that..
