LCD screen questions

1. Ive noticed this at night. Assuming its doing it in the daylight also. Turn truck off and screen display goes completely black (shuts off). Get out and lock doors with keyless pad. Look inside window and window buttons are lit up green and lcd screen will start to glow (backlight Id guess you'd call it, no info can be seen on the screen at this point it just glows a dark color) and then eventually after a while will turn off again. Why? is this normal?

2. adding contacts, can you add contacts from your phone without downloading the whole list of contacts that are on your phone?

Thanks

Does this happen if you just hit the lock button before you close the door or even using the key fob?

The SYNC system will download who`s in your contact list on your phone so the best thing to do is to remove certain contacts from your phone before giving the SYNC system permission to download the list.
