The visualizations are a very nice touch, but a tad distracting driving at night, as the DIN slot in my '93 Toyota Corolla wagon is just below shoulder height, so the unit sits nicely in peripheral vision.

Personally, I've found that the starfield visual is the least distracting at night, and that's what I usually switch it to. I've got a Mk1 which doesn't benefit from a dimmer, so this is actually vital for me during night driving. Are you using the headlight-dimmer feature?
