they function pretty much identical to how the Sony setup works, if that's a deal breaker for anyone, I suggest you plunk down the $1600-$2000 for the GTS and get on the waiting list for it come back in stock....

**UPDATE**
So, admittedly, I do very little night riding, so doesn't matter to me much, but I was out until 930 Friday night, the screen is pretty damn bright at night, I have it at the lowest dimness setting, which is -15, what are others thoughts? maybe it's just me...

personally I struggled with both the 6.5GT and the Sony at night, because they would melt my retina.I even used to run my Roadies Splash Cover at night so it would dull the Sony (or use the black-out button - great feature!) on long night rides.
The HDHU14+ was bright at first, until I learnt you could turn it down... and since the -15 was introduced I've been impressed.
if the light is getting on my nerves I tend to swipe it to a screen that hasn't got much on it, and ensure you have a dark wallpaper
...just my 50 pence

admittedly, my eyes are funky with lighting at night, this was the first night ride since installing the hdhu14, make no mistake, I am still over the moon with this head unit!

I'll be honest I love riding with it off at night and just my Dakotas on... then I'm Captain James T for the journey
