Black Screen

GoodYear · 27-10-2005, 08:23 AM

Guys maybe its just me but i realy hate the way the colour screen in my Territoy Ghia gets a black background when i turn the lights on. The daytime colour of grey would be fine at night. My Question is can this function be removed or turned off?

hi there

just press and hold the volume button till u hear a beep. that function will let u
see the display only when u touch the functions on the icc or the steering wheel, comes on then turns off after a seconds. To reactivate do the similar procedure.

Cheers

I like to have the screen on but i just find the black hard to look at. Its Especially hard to see when i use the sat nav.

sorry guys, no solution for ur problem at the moment.....i think they were made less bright so will not disturb ur vision at night....having bright colors at night will make ur eyes bit uncomfortable.

thnx

I understand what you mean about brightness at night. But in the daytime with lights on the nav screen isn't very easy to read, so it would be good to have the choice to override the night screen. Might have to find the right wire and put a switch in if there is no factory override.

thanks

why would you want to drive around with the lights on during the day?

Smoke Pursuit · 16-11-2005, 11:17 PM

Safety...

There is a fix for this, its called daytime running lights, only problem is then the lights never turn off!

will_ · 17-11-2005, 06:25 PM

safety? during the day? if they cant see a territory driving next to them or the other direction during the day, then i think they will have serious issues noticing wether the headlights are on.

I really dont see the point of your post?

Someone asked a serious question and you have no valuable input into this thread.

Ahuh.

Getting back on track aside from the fact that some of us do drive with out lights on for safety or to meet fleet company guidelines, you can get a kit fitted from ford where the lights are on all the time when the motor is running, and at nite you just switch them to on to illuminate the dash and make the screen go black.

So if you want your headlights on and the screen to stay grey during the day, then get the daytime light option fitted

problem solved.

my valuable input was me asking why GoodYear drives with his headlights on. it seems to me the easiest fix to the problem would to leave the switch on auto (im assuming the ghia has this option) this way you can see the screen during the day.

the option is called 'headlights on feature' and factory fitted costs $145
