Hi all, have a question I thought I'd throw out to the community: There is a section of 2-lane highway I travel occasionally where it is required by law to turn your headlights on for several miles. I am guessing (though haven't tracked down a definitive answer) that daytime running lights do not (legally) suffice when it is clearly stated that headlights are required during the daytime. The problem is, when I turn on the headlights during the day as required. My displays (both the drive information and the audio/nav) dim considerably so that I can barely even see them. Has anyone found a solution for this problem? I also have a hard time seeing the audio/nav during the daytime, period. Even though it's at daytime setting. The glare is just always too much for it to really be useful during the day.
You can also go into the vehicle settings, via touch screen, and adjust the brightness and contrast levels. If I remember correctly, you have to turn the brightness all the way up and the contrast all the way down; makes a huge difference. The owners manual explains how to access the settings.
Welcome to the joys of C ownership. They audio screen you will just have to get used to living with. The lights on in the daytime is only temporary so I wouldn't be too concerned about it.
I've thought about getting one of those anti-glare screen protectors for an iPad to use on the Nav screen, but haven't had time yet. If anyone tries it, let me know.
