Possible to turn off the Infotainment screen?

[TMR]

Is there a may to make the infotainment screen go dark so it is not a distraction during night driving? Researching, I could not find a description of a way to turn it off.
For driving at night I prefer simply the dash on- turned down to it's lowest light level. So, unless actively using Waze, I turn it off at night in my other cars. My 21 F150 has a physical button to turn it off, and it is the 1st option on my X5's shortcut menu.

Great question!

No infotainment screen means not being able to adjust heat/AC fans.

if that's not an issue, maybe get a black plastic cling sheet and put it over the screen?

Set colors to a dark blue and dimmest setting?

That's all I got....

Isn’t there an option to have the screen go black and display only the time. I’m not near my car but I thought that was an option granted it won’t be a black blank screen but might be what your looking for

A quick google search turns up this however I bet because it’s AI it’s complete bull poop. This is why I HATE AI…

I believe that is how it worked in Sync 3 on my 18 F150. A bit of a pain but worth it for a longer night drive. Anyways... I'm buying this car for the manual V8, not long night drives.

This. It doesn't turn it off, but it certainly does reduce the amount of stuff and brightness.
