      Android Auto en Apple CarPlay are still "under construction".

          Better late than never.
          I've noticed this also with other apps. It seems an AA thing not a MRA specific thing.

          (I use MRA Next only on Android Auto. Every comment, suggestion, etc will be based on my usage with Android Auto)

            @M-Schrijver and I think it depends on the brand AA because mine starts up in daylight mode

              @Marinus-van-Deudekom
              First time (mostly in the morning) nearly everytime it starts in night/dark mode. Other times during the same day it is the correct mode.
              If available, the light sensor in AA Headunit should determine if night- or -daymode is required. Otherwise it should be the phone.

                @M-Schrijver, I have seen similar behaviour only on GMaps 🤣
                Suddenly during bright daylight and no tunnels in sight it often changes to darkmode, sometime for hours. And then it suddenly changes back...

                I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

                  @M-Schrijver I've had both the phone and Android Auto on at the same time. Whenever I hit a tunnel both devices change mode at exactly the same time. That makes me believe it's the mode of the phone leading the way.
                  Today I used only Android Auto and when I hit a tunnel Android Auto changed mode so now I'm not shure anymore.
                  Maybe @Corjan-Meijerink can share his opinion on this. I bet he knows 🙂

                    The sensors of the AA headunit has the highest priority. The sensor of the phone comes next.
                    In my case (Goldwing 2018) everything is done by the Goldwing headunit because it has al the required sensors. The phone is only the source of the software and does the calculations.

                      @M-Schrijver said in Android Auto - Night mode always on:

                      The sensor of the phone comes next.

                      The MRA app does not use the phones light sensor at all. It uses knowledge in the map concerning tunnels and sunset/dawn information (most likely from the GPS signal).

                      I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                        MRA has three settings
                        Auto
                        Light
                        Dark.

                        "Light" and "Dark" are manual settings.
                        "Auto" is determined by the OS of your phone. In case of AA is it AA which determined with i.e the light sensor which theme (light of dark) is used.
                        so, MRA must provied the posibilty but the phone makes the choice
