Eric,
I just read my book and says to press and hold the power key (once booted) for 2 secs the backlight will come on low - press and hold 2 secs will go to med, again will go high power. Manual says severe drain on the batteries in this mode. It also mentions backlight will power off after 4 mins of key in-activity this can be adjusted in backlight area in Setup.
Good luck and guess what - I tried it and it worked now I also know!

Guys,
I've got
mine dash mounted, and powered off the car (tapped into the cigarette lighter behind the dash) - I've also turned off the 4 min timer, so I get the light happening, and leave it on when I'm wanting GPS detail - works
well (bugger the double As!!)
Regards
Ivan

Eric,
I wouldn't mind the 700watt inverter if it is going for a reasonable price. You won't have any use for it...... lol
