RN510 radio at night

[MkVIGTI]

The RNS unit actually dims itself when it's dark, which is rather clever. I have also found that the speedo will change its brightness according to the amount of light in the cabin. Hope this helps.

You can also simply select from the onscreen menu to turn off the display while keeping the radio, nav, media playing.

brightness can be adjusted in setup

Speaking of things that change according to conditions, my Tom Tom speaks directions louder at high speeds to compensate for increased noise.
In my previous car, this generally went unnoticed
However my new Golf does such a good job of insulating against those noises that the different volume from the Tom Tom is very noticable

Does it have an adjustable sensitivity, like the Golf's stereo's speed sensitive volume does?

i was told on the weekend when we picked up our new Tig that the RNS510 does have speed sensitive volume.

The brightness on ours is not a problem at night. If it were to become distracting i would turn off the display.
