Default Auto dim display question

I think I may have asked this before but I'm not sure. When it gets darker my centre console display dims, but so does the sat nav which makes it hard to read. Is it possible to disable this does anyone know?

No, but you can adjust the light level manually. You may then have to turn it down again as it gets darker.

And how do you do that?

There is a control wheel next to the light switch which adjusts all the instrumentation illumination inc the RTI screen.

OK, thanks for the replies. I must admit that in the two years I've owned it I've never really noticed that wheel! I was hoping it could be disabled but if not no problem.

On mine at least, the control only gives two levels of brightness for the RTI screen while the lights on the dashboard have a more gradual progression.
