NAV map stays in nighttime mode

ewohar · 06-30-2015, 07:52 AM

I am stumped. Drove the car for six hours in a downpour this weekend and noticed that the NAV maps were displaying in night mode, but they never reverted to day mode which is my preference even at night. I have attempted to change all of the map options including standard vs alternate colors and day/night/automatic to no avail. I would think that it would toggle to night mode using the same sensors that cause the headlights to come on when setting the headlights to automatic mode, but I am not sure.

Any thoughts? Car is due to dealer in a few weeks and I could ask them. Also, I got tapped in front right bumper a few weeks ago in a parking lot. Could that have caused the problem?

Thank you for any help

Have a m235, U.S. Spec. All options except for active cruise control.

Does you auto dimming still works?

As weird as it may be, I was playing with the settings and turned off the 'traffic info' notifications and the map reverted to day time mode. Seems that if you turn that on, the map goes to night time mode. I can live with that!
