Also check under settings to see if there's something for day/night...I might be confusing this feature with the older 4:3 Nav monitors, though.

Qsilver7,
No day/night on this system.

For giggles, I got back into service mode and turned the contrast down to -10. When I looked at my brightness setting...it was turned down all the way. As I increased brightness, the screen lit up to an acceptable level for daytime driving. However, I turned the vehicle off and back on and it went right back to a dim screen as the brightness setting was all the way down again. This time when I adjusted the brightness, it didn't work. Went back in to service mode and found my contrast still set @ -10.
I'm guessing there's really nothing I can do externally for correcting this issue.
