Infotainment screen brightness

[symonh2000]

Hi all, is it possible to turn the brightness down on the infotainment screen on my car? I find it distracting at night.

It is a 2016 PP with dynaudio if that makes any difference.

Failing that, has anyone found a dark mask/screen which fits over the top to reduce the brightness?

The handbook doesn't really help unfortunately.

Many Thanks.

Hi, on mine, turn infotainment system on, then its Menu/Settings/Screen to adjust the brightness - I’ve never bothered changing the factory setting though.
The screen also goes into dark mode at night when the auto lights flick on, but I think that’s just the Sat Nav.
Good luck👍

Thanks mate, I will take a look tomorrow.

It is very bright especially when displaying white items like radio station logos.

Can you also make the screen go to sleep completely with the radio/music on?

Not sure on the last question - there is a ‘Screen Off’ option but not sure if that turns just the Screen off or the whole Infotainment system? You’ve made me curious now so I’ll try it later.
TBH, I just leave mine displaying the bar, kw power and oil temp gauges unless it’s a rare occurrence of Sat Nav use or changing a radio channel.

Edit - sorry, just noticed yours is a slightly earlier version so stuff may have changed, but I guess it’s worthwhile having a play around in the settings.

Well i have managed to find the screen settings, it was set on maximum brightness, so I set it to the darkest setting and now is all good.

I will have a look later to see if I can find the driving data display but I haven't found it yet and have had the car 6 months...

Screen off with the radio etc on would be a good option if that is there.

Press the "car" button multiple times until it cycles through to the display you want Then you can drag the dials up and down to select what you want to see

Excellent, thank you.

Top tip - Turn profiles on for your car and then set up a daytime version with brighter dials and then a night time with the darkest lighting.

No more faffing around with settings just a 2 second switch of the steering wheel button when you turn it on
