Also, the brightness setting has a memory for day and night, so I have it on +5 for day and -5 for night.

There is also a light sensor in the unit too, so the brightness adjust again depending on how bright it is in the cabin.

Really, really nice system.
Same on the SLK. Although I find it a bit strange that the headlights come "ON" but the buttons on the dash don't get backlit until the Nav screen goes to night mode.

I am sure my nav used to dim with the auto lights - 2006 335i iDrive.
I remember a tick box for it in a menu?
But - its been a while
