That would be annoying if you couldn't turn it off. Exactly why I went with a 2012. My mom's MKX has a button where the display can be minimized (still shows clock and current song playing but otherwise darker), or completely off. It sure is nice to be able to turn that completely off at night.

I guess if all else fails, you could find the fuse for it and tap a switch in.

That's what I own... a 2012. Does the display turn off when the radio is not on in your 2012?
Sorry, what's a MKX?
Probably a cut above the piece of cardboard I was thinking of using to cover the display!

Oops, I missed that. The 2013's MyLink screen is much bigger/brighter.

I haven't found a way to shut off the screen, but I haven't tried either. I have turned down the dash brightness though which made it easier to look at. It does seem much brighter than the other dash lights.
