I did all that and at the time but changing the settings on the unit itself didn't make a difference once I switched the headlight settings back to auto, the deck would still turn off (assuming this was during the day and the DRL's were the only lighting needed), if it was a dusk or night the parking and headlights came on and the backlight on the nav unit went to a viewable level.

The stupid thing is everything worked fine this morning on my drive home from work, sooo.. I either have a new ghostly friend or in my sleepless stupor I hit something on the dash near the lighting that turned the display off? We'll see how long it works I guess, good thing I'm planning on replacing the unit later down the road.
