I thought the problem was only with the radio in my car. I was planning on contacting the dealer, thinking that there was something defective with the brightness of the screen during that day.
Now I find out from this forum that it the way these "great" radios are built. Why would anyone market a radio with such a dull illiminated screen?
Hopefully if enough owners complain, Chrysler will arrange to do "something" about the radio's display screen.
