Hi Frank

I have a Pioneer Nav System - Here is a small problem I have and wonder if you have it and how might it be corrected (Help Klaus):

The Pioneer Nav System has a Nighttime screen and Daytime screen - Day = Gray background (like your picture) Nighttime = Black background.

In the "Settings Mode" you can toggel the mode (automatic) which should allow the unit to change to black background when lights go on toward evening - however since the H2 has day-time running lights my backgroud is always black in auto mode.

Unless I toggel the setting to "off" - then the background is always gray even at night (which is to bright inside at night).

Have you experienced this - any suggestion? My Installer states that they cannot correct this problem.

Thanks <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don't have my wiring diagrams with me at work, and I'm guessing about the Pioneer, so here goes.

I suspect the Pioneer needs to be connected to a 12V source that is "hot" when the lights are on. If, in fact, the dash lights are always on, that won't work. I'd suggest a connection to the tail light circuit.

I'll look it up tonight for you.
