Automatic screen brightness question

[CharlieP]

Does anyone else not like the fact that even during daylight hours if it is a rainy cloudy day the Automatic Brightness changes to Night mode. I feel it should also be tied into the clock time. any suggestions?????

Agreed this bothers me so much to have to switch it back all the time

Turn off the option "auto headlights with wipers" and the screen won't dim anymore when your wipers are on.

One particular drizzly day this kept happening to me. It would go dim and back again and my wife was driving and lamenting the days when vehicles only had four knobs inside and didn’t do things unless you actually did it yourself. Turns out I also have the rain sensitive wipers. So if the wiper decided to come on it would turn on the headlights and then dim the dash even though it was still pretty bright outside. You couldn’t see the screen or anything. So I do feel this is an oversight. Just headlights shouldn’t be enough to dim. It has a light sensor on the dash and should consider that before making everything inside so dim you can’t see. It took me 10 minutes of messing around with settings to find it listening to her complain and trash talk modern tech the entire time. Fun times.

Fun times indeed! I generally leave the brightness knob clicked all the way into the brightest position, because even at the beginning of what the truck considered to be night, it's usually too bright outside for the next step down in brightness (which is less like a step than a cliff, to be honest). So at dusk, when it kicks over, if I don't have the knob clicked all the way up, it goes from full brightness to the highest of the dimmed settings, which is WAY too dim, even for the dark of night, let alone dusk. I wish there were more steps in between!
