Default Dumb '06 Navi Question

Just picked up the car tonight. I don't see a way for the navi background to turn black at night. My wife's '07 RX350 has this feature. Am I missing it or is it just not there? It's pretty bright at night. I know I can reduce the brightness but flipping the background to black would be idea.

Told you it was dumb. :P

Don''t turn the **** for the brightness of your gauges all the way. If you turn the **** and feel it click you went too far. I ran into this myself when I first got my IS. Lol
