I know how it is, man. You meet some fine honey at the club. She admires the shiny BMW, wants you to take her for a drive. You've both had a few adult grape juices or oat sodas, but you need to score, so you get those keys jinglin' and speed off. You are parked at the end of a dark street, possibly high above a scenic view. You have your hot little thang in the passenger seat. Things get graphic. You shut off all the interior light switches, so that when you open the door to get into the backseat, no one will see what's happenin. Than after you've had your bidness audited, you don't want that pesky Nav screen lighting up, giving away your position, or revealing that you've maybe just beer-goggled yourself into some flagrante delecto with someone you'd run away from in fear at the grocery store.

Good thing they didn't have Nav in the '87 IROC, I'd have been trying to figure out how to keep that screen dark like you don't even know!
