Weee!
I agree, a totally blacked out screen would be great for night driving sometimes. The closest you can do is turn on screen cleaning mode. It makes the entire screen black (or dark gray).
Better than screen cleaning mode: Try turning on the doodle app, and setting the background to black instead of white. No bright words in the middle this way.
That works for when you're parked but when the car is in drive it won't allow the doodle app. I believe it won't allow screen cleaning either. So for my issue, where I only want the dash on dim and NO lights on the middles screen when driving in dark, this workaround doesn't work.
You can indeed engage both the Screen Cleaning page and the Doodle App while the vehicle is being driven.
@Eevee , what firmware version are you on?Hmm, that's weird because I tested it and it popped out of doodle mode when I put the car in drive or reverse.
I want to note that the Screen Cleaning Mode is no longer an option. Somewhere in the past few firmware revisions (probably since V9), it has been disabled unless the car is in [P]ark.
This makes absolutely no sense to me as to why they would do this, but alas, it is true.
I, like others, can still engage the Doodle App while driving, however. I'm not sure why it kicks-out for @Eevee .
