New idrive nav question....Night Mode.

[midwest 340xi 6sp]

Anyone know if there is a way to have the nav automatically switch to night mode??

I see night mode manual click-on, not an auto setting

nope , no such option.
you can use one of the 8 memory buttons to quickly switch

Oh well....Thanks for post, I did a net search too and found the same thing..Not a big deal, but it's something that should just have been built in from the get go...

Duh!? so overlooked feature. my momz hyundai genesis auto switchs to nite mode.

and it's so simple to implement, maybe in a next software update for idrive...

So How do we do it and how would we know if their is an update?

[bbmw]

your dealer should update the software of idrive when you bring your car in for service... Sad we can't update ourselves

What is night mode? Do you mean the auto dimming at night feature?

How do you set the memory buttons to do this?

You highlight night mode in the nav settings then hold down one of the memory buttons.
