Love these. Ordered the clock and thermometer. Great quality and easy to install and mount straight. It has been 10 degrees below zero, and both are still working. As far as night, not really sure since they are on my motorcycle and I dont usually ride after dark. Sorry.

Hi the answer to this question is I think, the clock itself doesn't light up, but with a certain amount of light from the dashboard you could see the figures on the clock I hope that helps.

mine's on my motorcycle and I love it. It doesn't have a luminous face so you would need ambient light to see the face but very easy to read otherwise and the packaging was super protective and I feel the overall quality was well worth the price

This is a terrific clock but you can't read it at night because it's not illuminated. It works great on my tractor but I'm not out working in the dark!

My westclock has a small greenish light about the size of a dime behind the nine. Unless it is right next to me, I can not see what time it is. I had to move it next to the bed.

With windows in the daytime you won't really be able to tell it's on. In the dark it will light shed well enough to find something, but not work by.

Yes, definitely. It is possible to dimm the clock light from 1-4, whereas mine is at 1. It's impossible to read at the day and by the night it's also very hard. If you choose to face it away I'm pretty sure the room will be 100% dark, even if it faces a wall where the light could reflect.

Yes, but it's NOT backlit. So you'll need some light shining on the face of the radio to read the display.

No it should be on when the car is running , and stay light afterwords for awhile , your not getting a current reading if it's not light up

The clock is only visible when you push the Display button (only shows the time temporarily for a few seconds, then returns to displaying either the station frequency or file name of the music currently playing). The clock is 12-hour format only; there is no 24-hour standard time format available. From my experience with this unit, the built-in clock isn't extremely accurate. It's generally less than a minute off every month or so. For most people, this is good enough. Me personally, though? I'm glad the clock stays hidden by default because I have a clock mounted to my dash above the stereo.

It really does tell the time, it works like a charm :) just be careful cause when I bought mine there was a problem with the lighter part, the clock itself works fine

There's a small button on the right that lets you choose between a bright back light, a dim back light or no back light. Even the dim is too bright for me. I turn it off but then have no way to see the time.

Yes. I had the same question. I went to http://www.brookstone.com/store/product.asp?pid=450585 (click on the "Manuals and Brochures" tab and reviewed the following item: " 41. CLOCK/ : From Off position, sets time. From CD, MP3 or radio mode, allows you to view the time. " (This sounds like what I am looking for - a better sounding "shelf audio unit" with visible clock feature.)

Never got a chance to use device at night. I could not get the compass adjusted and I sent it back.The device design would not allow a satisfactory mount position on my car dash. Sorry!

Yes it can. Use it while I'm reading in bed. I set the timer even so it dims and turns off to tell me it's bedtime.

Yes. When phone is resting in the charger cradle, the date and time as easily visible--even in the dark.

Hi. You can set it to a mode that will announce time every hour if you like. It does not tell weather.

Hi Theodis, from this link, http://docs.sony.com/release/CDXGT660UP_EN_FR.pdf, on page 5, is where you'll find steps to set the clock. This link serves as the complete user's guide for the car stereo. -Vincent

Yes you can. My son read it in the car when it was dark and he didn't complain. Lately I have been using it at night to read and its okay. I don't like it on my head but if you position it right toward the book its fine. Kind of bright. Its a great purchase but maybe a book lamp would help if your sole purpose is to read at night.
