Night driving

[Big Ears]

For the next three weeks, I'm up and out at 05:30 to go to the hospital, I notice that the dash dims when the lights are on but the central screen stayed bright and on country roads it is so bad I had to cover it up, is there an option to darken it and still have it usable?

It will be in a sub menu on that main screen pal.

Infuriating isn't it!

It's the same with the 4.

Why oh why isn't there a dimmer switch that controls all the screens.

My Horse and Cart had one.

Select the 'Settings' icon from the main menu screen, then under 'General', select the background mode you want, either Light, Dark, or Auto.

Thank U MG Clive

Can we hope that if we choose AUTO using the method you describe we won't be bothered by this inconvenience?

We'd like to think so wouldn't we, but I haven't tried it, I have mine on dark all the time.

There is an option to link both screens so that the infotainment one dims along with the drivers one.

Auto works ok. Was out this morning 6am and screen automatically was in dark mode, then this afternoon was out again and it was automatically in light mode

Ditto!

Also you can swipe down from Home Screen and a submenu appears. You can adjust the brightness level over there or even turn off the whole thing

Kev, this is where you will find the options on screen brightness.

That was my case: it was on AUTO and didn't work properly.
So I switched to DARK (or LIGHT) , then pressed AUTO and now it works.

Look after yourself, Kev.

Hi Kev, are talking about the big screen, I use Apple Maps and it’s so bright I’m having difficulty driving at night. Did you find a solution?
Cheers Noel

I've not felt up to delving into it since Noel, I took the meds as prescribed but went back to the docs yesterday who said if it's no better by Monday I'll leave a script for 7 days on a different antibiotic at Asda to pick up only if you need it, I may not wait til Monday.

Only 3 more days of Radiotherapy left next week all done by Wednesday, I got there this morning and my scooter was acting up so I had about a half-mile walk to get into the hospital from the BB carpark, I had to stop several times but by heck, it was bloody cold and windy.

Silly boss managed to move the lever from drive to freewheel, simple fix, but I didn't know you had to flick it back with the key off, lesson learned and will be forgotten no doubt, it's fun getting old innit.

I will hopefully look into the lights thing next week, I could do with a very brief set of simple instructions to take a screen shot off before I attempt it, I'm not good with instructions normally.
