I learned today that the clock brightness in the 360 is adjustable. You need to use the two buttons on the lower left side of the instrument panel. Apparently a digital readout shows the level of brightness. The highest reading is 30 and mine was set at 5. No wonder I could not read it. The dealership adjusted it for me no...charge.

I have the same problem and I assume there is no fix for the problem. Digital readouts are hard to read under normal lighting conditions. With the top down and the location(top center of the windsheild) it is impossible to read.

However I plan to service my car next week and I will check with the Ferrari service dept to determine if it can be corrected. I will report back.

Yes I can read it without any problem. Of course I have a roof to make some shades... Let's face it, this clock is poorly positioned anyway, not to mention, it is really nice to forget about time while driving that toy.

Acw: I tried the button but it really controls the dash only. Can you read the clock in your Modena during sunny days?

Jselevan: as far as I know there are about 5 Modenas and 3 Spiders :-)

I haven't tried this but if you press the left little black round button on the left side for a few seconds, you can set the dash brightness. I suspect this may affect the clock brightness as well.

Andrew - how can you tell that the Boxster has a body kit? Perhaps 10% of the car is showing. You obviously know Boxsters and have AMAZING eyes.

I'm impressed.

(Milan - that is a VERY nice 360 - how many are in the Czech Republic?)

I appreciate your comments concerning my Boxster (replaced by Carrera now) but I would like to have an answer about the digital clock in the Spider :-)

I'm having problem to read the digital clock located on the windshield under normal light condition (top up/down) due to low brightness of the display. Is there any way how to increase the brigthness of the backlight?

Thank you
