    Any numbers out there?
    Did they just shrink the screen size and keep the resolution the same from my 2006 No-Nav model?

    This morning I drove my daughter to her softball game. It was very bright sunny morning. I could not see the nav screen.

    This happen to anyone else, and if so what have you done to correct?

    If figured this out.
    My friend drove the car last night, his knee must of hit the dimming switch. If you put it to MAX, it actually clicks, and is at the brightest
    setting.

    There is also a contrast setting in the navigation that helped the glare . .

    That behavior tells me that you had the headlights on. The dimming switch has no effect on dash brightness when the headlights are off.
