Default Premium Sound Night Mode

Hi,

I'm just wondering if there is any way to be able to force the Premium Sound in my BA XR6 Turbo to stay in "Night" illumination when the headlights are off as it is particularly annoying if you stop at night with the headlights off and get a blast of bright daylight mode illumination. Particularly, i'd like to know if it can be manually switched between modes?

Cheers,
Chris

What's wrong with the dashboard illumination button? Three different modes of light there mate.. I think that's about all you can do as far as I know. Could be wrong..

Nah they aren't "modes" of lights, they just dim/brighten the screen. I'm talking about how when the headlights are on, the ICC screen goes black for "night mode" and when the headlights are off it goes white for "day mode". I want to be able to manually force it into "night mode".

It can be done. You would have to isolate and cut the wire that supplied the 12v to the ICC. You could connect this to your accessories via a switch if you wanted and switch it on/off as desired. Can't help with the colour of the wire to cut though as we don't deal with the factory harness in the car.

Cheers
