Auto-dim headlights and chromatic dim mirrors?

[iamtheav8r]

Drove a 2020 Laramie Longhorn that I'm going to try to make a deal on. I had auto-dim high beams enabled in the 12.4" Uconnect, but the headlights never dimmed during my hour long drive (at night) Had the headlights on auto and pushed the stalk forward to turn on the high beams. Mostly country road driving, some highway and a little city-ish driving. Was I doing something wrong?

I see I can enable the chromatic dimming mirrors, but it seems like they're either dimmed or not based on the control setting. Do these not auto dim based on headlights behind you when driving?

Thanks

There is a separate setting in UConnect for the auto dim headlights. It’s under the Lighting section (not on the controls menu with the seat heaters/coolers)

Yes...my post stated that I had enabled that in uConnect.

Did you get the engaged message in the display that they were activated? If not mention it to the sales guy and have them look at it, there’s another thread mentioning this issue.

Didn't see that (I assume you mean in the dash display and not in uConnect?)

Thanks

Yes that’s correct.

Yes that’s correct.

ok, didn't see anything there. I'll have to ask the dealer.

Any idea on my question about the chromatic dimming mirrors?

Just highlight in the uconnect I think that’s where it is. Mine works as advertised and both side mirrors also auto dimming.

Ditto. The message should appear if the feature is enabled. The sensor is VERY sensitive, i.e. the lights dim at the slightest detection of oncoming light.

So beyond enabling it in the uConnect and pushing the stalk forward...there's nothing else to do to enable it?

No, but as @Scott_65 mentioned, this issue has popped up recently in another thread. A reflash might be required.
