Turning Off Infotainment Screen by Default ?

[MFP2241]

Is there a way to have the "Infotainment" screen default to the OFF setting?

I looked through all the menus and manuals and didn't see anything, just wondering if there is a setting that can make this happen... 2DR BaseSquatch if that makes any difference.

Generally after starting I turn off the auto-stop, and then go into settings, then display and turn the screen off.

It would be awesome if I could set it to default to off.

Unfortunately no.

Unfortunately no.

That's what I thought... thanks.

May I ask why?

May I ask why?

95% of the time I don't sync my phone to it, and I just have a couple radio stations I listen to... so honestly it's more of a distraction for me than anything else. Especially at night.

Also, I mostly use the Bronco as a way to get away from the screens I have to stare at all day... it's a much more relaxing drive without it on. Again, for me anyway.

I'm probably in the minority here, but if I could have opted to delete the TV, and have the climate/radio controls in that space I would have done it.

I want the exact same thing. It's much more relaxing 95% of the time to have the display off. Surely there's a way to program it with one of those plugin things?

This would be nice. That screen is big. Way to much interior light while trying to look at a dark road. Yes I have dimmed mine and it is tolerable but turning off all together would be nice without toggling several screens deep.

Maybe there's a way with Forscan?

FORScan is amazing. I was able to change all types of settings. Unfortunately, I can't find the one for setting the display to off by default.

If anyone knows the setting, please chime in.

I am a minimalist, and like a dark cockpit, so the first thing I do every time I start the engine is turn the screen off manually. It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice if it was not necessary.

I turn my screen off at night also. This was one of the reasons I wanted the Low-tech package, to avoid the giant screen. Standard screen is plenty big.

Has anyone found the solution in Forscan?
