The Symphony radio automatically adjusts its display brightness
based on ambient light conditions, and it does so in discrete steps.
It's not quite "blinking", but it is sort of interesting to see
the light adjustment happen in action.

Try this in a dark garage at night: With ignition on, turn on radio
and observe the display.  Now turn on your overhead dome light
so it lights up the interior.  After a small delay you should see
the radio display brighten to match.
