I have a very strange problem with my Backup Camera / UConnect screen.
One day, I noticed that when reversing out of my garage the backup camera was just black, on closer inspection, I realized it was on, but just dimmed, very dimmed.
In fact, if I were to shift into park, the entire UConnect screen is dim.
I can fix this easily by just turning off the headlights.
I don't know what setting changed, but I do know that the light sensor that decides when auto-headlights need to be on, they are on, and the screen dimms accordingly.
I can't understand why it's dimming so much. Is there a dimmer somewhere for this?
I am finding myself turning off my headlights if it's raining during the day, because I can't see my screen at all.
(Side note, why is this tied to headlights being on instead of just the brightness sensor itself? I need to use lights in the rain, but that doesn't mean it's dark...)
This wasn't always a problem, I've had the vehicle for 4 years now, and this has just popped up over the past 2 months.
I can get around the problem by choosing not to switch between day and night brightness, but I need night brightness at night, or the screen is way too bright.
Side comment... Why doesn't the NAV dim with the rest of the display? The Nav is hard set to use either night or day colors, and it never switches over automatically.
Is my UConnect just messed up? I've had to replace my radio 4 times due to the very common "Maps won't load" issue, is this something similar?
Thanks to anyone who replies!
