Nav is dark then gets brighter

I searched for a solution, but found nothing. When I start my car in the morning the nav screen is very dark, like the brightness is all the way down. I check the brightness level and it is set to max. Touching the increase brightness button once increases the brightness again, but the brightness level is already at max when i touch it. It's pretty strange. Anyone heard of this before? Thanks

Just to rule out the obvious: Are your headlights on or off ?

They are off. Sorry, forgot to mention that in the first post.

LCDs can be dark-ish when they are cold. They brighten up to normal once the temp raises some.

This is happening to me as well. Seems to be happening because its colder. Makes sense to me though, since its LCD and the L means LIQUID. Im guessing the liquid takes a bit longer to "charge" up...

I dont think its a problem at all...

This happens to me every morning. This is pretty common with LCD monitors. Your monitor just needs to warm up a bit (It does get quite warm, as a matter of fact!)
