software update
Hi everyone, I just have my car back from the dealer (hpfp recall) they also made a software update, lots of thing have change since then, i love the fact that the i drive screen does'nt pop up anymore when i start the engine, but one thing i dislike is when i use the nav system the screen is a lot darker then before even whit the brightness set at maximum. any clue? what else should have change that i may discover later?

I did wonder why my screen was darker must be part of the update. No major changes other than a few new graphics and also single address entry for verbal destination input.

I asked about the apps and the dealer said its a different system. So its basically the hardware not only software

He's not talking about the nav display mode... The whole screen is now darker presumably to lower glare at night but also means its less easy to read in the day... Not as bright.

Does the software update enable auto-switching between day and night modes?

Close the screen before you turn off the car. when you start up again it will stay down - it remembers the last position.

it depends on the year of your car, mine is an 09, before the update the screen was always pop up regardless if it was close or open when i'd shut the engine.
