2007 Navigation radio question

does anyone know what would cause my factory navigation radio to always be on the "night" setting when on "auto"? the only way i can get it on the "day" mode is to set it to day only.

Did the unit come in your vehicle, or did you purchase after the fact and install it yourself?

MS-CAN radio illumination programming

This may be my issue too, but, the first I've actually seen someone have a "fix"... I swapped a '06 Mark LT radio into an '04 FX4, no illumination. Can you tell me who you bought your radio from? Thanks.

You can skip the speaker walk test as it is really annoying. Once you are in the diagnostics menu, you should be able to view the configuration status. Scroll down to illumination and see if it is set to MSCAN or hardwired/pwm. You can also check for any DTC's which will highlight any issues you may be having. Let me know what you come up with..

What color is the unit painted, silver or black? When you key on, does it say Lincoln or Ford on the screen?

It is black, but doesn't say either when powered up...

I did do the 3 and 6 key preset button check last night, and have some interesting results, but, was not able to find where it would scroll down to the "illumination" screen for any changes. Arrggg, so close! But, I did find all of this:

Button 1 - self test - fail B1342ECU and B2477 Config
Button 2 - DTCS found the above two and B1318BAT L
Button 3 - Signal 56/7
Button 4 - Soft levels - Main: 00_2D_0, CDSP: 01_04_0, CD: 24_40_0 and SDR: 00_00_0

Button 5 - Display test - YAAAYYY it works.. all buttons illuminated and then black... arrggggg
Button 6 - No Config - all Configs 1-6=0, with 7L3T 18C8 15EG at the front

So... at least I know all the lights are getting power. Now, I do have the GROM audio MP3/Ipod/Aux adapter installed into the changer 16pin port, and it always has power. So, that may be keeping me from getting to the appropriate menu. Or, I'm missing a button stroke somewhere. That may be for this weekend if so!

Thanks!

GROM (the aux input box maker) suggested I remove their unit and retry the procedure. No luck. Is there a way to clear the errors? Maybe that is causing the radio to not let a config. change be made. While aggravating, it works, just dark. Now more of a puzzle, which makes you want to solve it even more! Maybe I need to send it somewhere for a reprogram?

Rob, you do have the Pioneer unit with a 6 cd changer integrated correct. The map dvd is accessed by pushing a button and the screen opens? Just confirming we are talking the same unit here. Is your 04 an F150 FX4? Can you post a pic of your unit?
