 Digital display color
While fiddling around with my spyder in the garage (no, I didn't break it yet, but I just can't resist tinkering since old man winter is giving me a hard time), I noticed that the display changes color scheme depending on whether I'm in bright daylight or dim light. Yet there is nothing in the manual. Anyone else notice this?

Color Display
Yes, the display will change to aide the driver during hours of darkness. Orange is for faults and open doors and dark gray is for night or dim light.

We have some street lights here in Las Vegas that are so bright they will trigger the dash lights on my Spyder to go back and forth from the night setting to the daytime one.

Just an FYI, on my 2012 RT Limited, burnt orange is the night time color, didn't want anyone to think they have a fault.

Yes, as the previous posters have said. The screens will change from a day to a night mode. Since we don't have much of a night time issue here, I mostly get to see my screen change modes when going from garage to outside and visa versa.

I agree, the night time Blue screen is really a good looking screen and easier to read (in my opinion) than the daytime gray. Is there a way to trick it into staying on the night screen??? where's the sensor??

Stan,
I agree... Where's that sensor, and would a couple of strips of tape over it suffice to trick it into "nighttime mode"?
I played with mine and put electrical tape on it and I could get it to change (in my garage) and thought I had located the sensor to the left of the display covering an inch wide area down beside it. I could get it to change back and forth. Well, I left the tape on and had the blue screen and backed out of the garagee and boom, it changed back! The lighs in the garage were on and still the daylight made it change back. It has me stumped.

Ok, now I'm sure all the ST owners and completely confused. 2013 ST's DO NOT have a blue night screen, it changes to orange at night.
Remember folks, this is the ST forum, what happens on an RT isn't really relevant.

My heavy-duty thumb tells me that if you put a chunk of electrical tape over the 1:00 O'clock position on the analog speedometer display; it'll switch ver to nighttime mode... (Been thumbing around that display and confirmed the location...)

We are talking about the location of the ambient light sensor, it is relevant if it has a display and it changes color at night. I would think the sensor is in the same location on the RT, RS, ST. All some of us are saying is we like the look of the nighttime screen, on our model, and are looking for the sensor to fake it out .
