Changing Nav colors on 8.4

[sandawilliams]

I've tried to find a way to change the nav colors on my 8.4 since new. Just did the update and played around and still no luck. Can the background colors be changed on the map from the dull gray crap?
thanks

Ive tried to find a way to change it as well. With no luck.

Apparently, there are only two modes. Day mode and night mode. The modes can be set to auto or manual.

In auto, its its controlled by the light sensor on your dash. In manual mode, its controlled by your headlights. When the headlights come on, the nav map goes to night mode.

I find day mode to be too bright. Ive been trying to find a way to permanently set it on night mode.

If your truck is a 13 to 17 with the RA4 go there are five different map themes in your Navigation settings menu. To access it go into the settings menu when you have the map on the screen. I keep mine on the Fiat theme with the blue background because I feel it looks the best. If you have the 18 to 19 with the UAQ 8.4 I know there are are different themes for them too but I'm not sure of exactly how you access them.

Thanks for the info. I just went out and tried it and cannot find the themes. Pulled up the map, settings, and no themes listed. Truck is a 2014 with the 8.4 and nav (of course). No listings of fiat or others.

You should have this screen. Is your firmware version 18.45.01?

^ That menu is only available if you are in the 3D mode. In 2D it doesn't show up. With that said I can't see any difference in the map colors when I change it?

Mine has five distinct different versions. They are much more prevalent when the radio is not in night mode with the black background. Im not in my truck now to take a picture of the different versions but I keep mine on the Fiat screen with the bluish background the Ram theme is more of greenish background. This is a pick of the Fiat screen. Also I believe I am able to access the settings screen even when not on 3D but that's where I always keep my maps so might not have noticed.

I just checked my truck and the map appearance screen is present on 2D and 3D. This is the Ram screen.

You are correct, it is in both modes. I just missed it the first time. As far a color change, I had to scroll way out to see it. I'm out in the sticks and they all looked the same when it was zoomed in. In the Fiat mode some of the roads are yellow and background more blue, I think the Jeep roads were dark green etc.

Thanks mtnrider and Ricks Ram. Worked great as instructed. I settled on the Fiat setting as bad as I hate to admit it.

I found no way yet....love dark mode on all devices but my laptop is too old and FB won't update to support it. I don't even use the nav for that one reason.
