Also, the dashboard dimming was a problem in the 2nd generation GS. It happened to me a couple of times but it went away on it's own.

Just out of curiosity,. did you have the windows tinted or do you have any parking permits on the dash/rear view mirror. I believe there are sensors around the cabin to adjust the display according to the outside ambient light.

You probably didn't do this...but did you adjust the instrument panel brightness? Is the exterior lighting sensor working? Is night mode on? And did you try adjusting brightness settings, or deactivating the screen and reactivating it? Just checking before you sent it in.

When I pressed it again, the screen turned very dark.
Please refer to the owner's manual page 252 and Nav's manual page 113. There's a misprint that tell you about turn the light control switch all the way to the right, actually they're saying if you press the " MAX" buttom the Day Mode or Night Mode will dissappear.
If you don't want your screen to flickering just press the MAX buttom. If the MAX setting is too bright for you then you just press the arrow key, but the screen will become very sensitive to the light.
You can go to " MENU", select Screen Setting, scroll down until you see Day Mode or Night Mode and you will see the high light said " Normal", under that you can adjust the setting from 1 to 4 depending on how you like your screen to be darker or brighter.

If it's the ol' Night Mode and dashboard lighting thing again, then its not uncommon. There have been posts about this, such as the time the cabin lights wouldn't go on because the instrument panel light was set to MIN lowest, and the time the Night Mode refused to come on because the light was set on MAX.
