Hi, I just bought a 08 S-Line and I'm disapointed with the brightness of the MMI screen
I have tried adjusting the dash light control, and the in menu display brighness control, but it only seems to dim/brighten the display by a miniscule amount
Its virtually unreadable during daylight hours, and still fairly dim at night
My previous 07 avant with the RNS-E satnav had a good bright screen
Have I got a faulty backlight or is this normal?
thanks

 

all displays from up to 06.2009 have bugs with backlight.
if you dont afraid russian language, you are can repait it, need only 148mm CCFL lamp.
