Android Auto Not Dimming Screen at Night

[Ian Robinson]

This seems to have stopped working, is there any way to get it working again? The screen is distractingly bright at night.

Is there a way to manually dim the android auto screen if we cannot get this working, or switch the screen off?

For me it never worked, on 3 versions of the infotainment.

The only way i found was to as quickly as possible flick the lights from auto to auto off and back to auto.

But beware, the lighting system is super slow to change the modes. It takes 2 seconds, so don't do it at night on a highway, it makes your car dissaper for 2 whole seconds from anyones sight.

Curious to see if there is another way, so ill sub.

You can set Android Auto to always night mode though:

Yes is one possibility - I like day mode in day though

I wonder if there is a way to raise his as a bug to MG?
