Clusters too dim
« on: 21 February 2021, 23:40 »
Has anyone had issues with there cluster light being too dim? No window tints but soon as I put my phone flash light on sensor it brightens up and then dims right down?
Is there Anyway to deactivate the light sensor??

Do you keep your light switch on Auto ? Do you have xenons or halogen lights?

Go into the settings, you can alter the interior lighting and cluster lighting. I've dimmed mine because I find them too bright at night which is when I do most of my driving.

I’ve done that but they still very dim. Soon as I put flash light on dials they brighten up.

And standard windscreen and no window tints other than factory yes?
One way around it is to leave your lights on all the time. They will turn off once you switch the car off either way.

Just tried it mate no difference whatsoever... it seems like the sensor picks up the light off my phone and brightens everything up but soon as I remove light away it dimms down.... strange
