Hi,
I wanted to know if anyone knows how to change the default behavior of the dashboard lighting when the headlights are on. When I turn on my headlights in the daytime both the console NAV display and the upper display near the windshield dim to a level at which they cannot be seen. I often drive with headlights on during the daytime for safety reasons. I was able to change the behavior for the brightness on the NAV display off of auto but then when I want it dim I have to change it manually. As far as I can tell, there is no way to brighten the upper display.
Also, I'd like the auto setting on the headlights to have the headlights on during the daytime. That would also solve the dash problem. Any ideas about that?

I'm not sure on the 2nd gen, however on the first gen there's a button between the tachometer and the speedometer which toggles between day/night mode.
