Navigation Screen Auto Dimmer ?

[Bob G]

Does anyone know if we can set the Navigation screen to night mode or auto dim once it's dark ?
I know I can do manually with the right dimmer wheel on the left side dash board, but I bet there is setting hidden in one of the sub-menus to turn a night mode on or off.
Thanks,
Bob

There is a rotary on the left side of the steering wheel. If you rotate it down then it will auto dim.

Good question, wish it went to night mode automatically

If you don't have the brightness set to max it will auto adjust to night mode or when your headlights turn on with wipers. At least mine does.

As far as I can tell, as long as the dimmer wheel isn't on Max brightness it will change over automatically. Mine stays in dark mode a bit longer than I'd like actually. Check the wheel then scroll through all the Uconnect settings just to check but I don't recall that being one of millions of customizable choices.

I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why in the Settings (Settings/Display), the brightness setting for Headlights on was greyed out and couldn't be adjusted. I had the brightness dial set to max (past the detent in the switch). Once I put the dial back below the detent in the switch, now I can adjust the brightness settings.

Hey Bob, I was wondering the same thing. I did find that if you turn the right dial all the way up (see image) and then go back down one click, it will show the daytime map during the day and automatically switch to the nighttime map after sunset. The screen and instrument panels will both be very slightly dimmer, but not really enough to notice. See attached images.
