Is there any upgrade to make the dash2 display more readable at night?
All you see is blue and no contrast at all.
Worse when you adjust the brightness and become even flat, pale and unreadable. Most dash competitors are bright and easy in the eye but dash2 is crap at night.

I adjusted the angle that the dash was mounted at to get it right. If the the dash is perpendicular to your site line, you won't have any contrast. It needs to be 10-20* lower than your site line.

How can I just it when it's installed fix flat at the dashboard?

Race technology should do something to improve the display.

I used some washers as spacer to angle it a bit.

It's an artifact of the technology used for the display. IIRC others like Motec and AIM have the same "feature".
