thats not norm mate, not sure why it doing it though, it should be on all the time the igntiion key is on, egradless of radio, and go dull when you tun you lights on, ie to stop u being dazeled by the brightness of the bulbs. Maybe the wiring on the astra unit is slightly different or something, or maybe u just got a dodgy unit
O and yeah u can see it slightly whne you igntion off, just without the back lighting

you should be able to see the mfd when eva the ignition is on mate!!! or when theradio is on!!
should disply the date and time and temp and the date will go off when you turn radio on or display the station when sterio is on!!
