My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Just guessing, but its probably tied to the headlights/daytime running lights auto dimming function. Might be some settings for that hidden somewhere deep in the menu structure.

Depends on the colors we are talking about. If it goes from a white background And to a black color, it’s the day time/ night time thing with the head lights on and off.

I think you guys nailed it !
I noticed it goes from a white backround to a black backround or vice versa near sun up or sun down. during the day it shows a blue backround.
I will check out the auto dimmer menu soon. thanks (y)

It’s meant to reduce glare at night and thus ruin your night vision.
