| Description of the problem | Dash and uconnect screen will not properly dim in certain situations. Most notably, if you turn on the car during the day and drive into the night, the headlights will turn on, but the dash and screen will not dim. If you turn on the car while it is dark out, dash will properly dim. There seem to be additional scenarios that interfere with dash dimming, such as opening a door while car is on and turning on overhead lighting. Difficult to focus on road ahead when bright dash and screen is glaring in your face. |
