I am assisting a friend mine in trying to find a solution to his digital dash that randomly dims in bright and dim environments. The dealer states the behavior is normal as that's how the ambient sensor is programmed. Does anyone else have this issue?

Thanks in advance.


**Edit - Added video

 

I’m experiencing a similar situation, and wondering if it is the same as your friend’s. During the day, the illumination is fine. The brightness seems to be full on and all parts of the display are fine. Likewise, at night the brightness is kicked up a notch to give full illumination, and the tiny rotary **** under the parking brake actuator enables me to either dim or brighten the display, which I really never touch, I just leave it full on 24/7. However, my issue occurs around dusk, when the light levels begin to fade it seems that the display dims also. Once it becomes fully dark, the display becomes fully illuminated again, making it much easier to see. It is just that small window of time between daylight and nighttime where I need more brightness. My favorite use of the customizable button on the steering wheel is to use the long press to go to stealth mode, making the entire cabin dark. Works especially well on dark roads and highways at night when the glare from the display is difficult.

 

Your issue looks a little better, as you can see from the video his will randomly go up and down. Thanks for the reply.

 

I have a similar issue. My digital dash actually turned off 3 times in the past month when I was waiting for red light. But it automatically turned on after the car moved. It happened randomly and I believe it must be some software/electric problem. I haven't talked with the dealer since I cannot reproduce it and the issue is minor. My car is a 2023 defender 110 X.

 

I have a 2023.5 and the digital dash has been going nuts constantly dimming and brightening around dusk time like the sensor is confused or way way overly sensitive.

JLR has got to address this, it's very distracting!

 

This happened since last software update, has to be definitely fixed of by JLR.

 

This is nuts.. I've over here fuming that my 23.5 P300 coming in Aug may not have the digital dash but after reading this thread, maybe that's for the best.. from the looks of the video, that would get annoying, fast.

 

Same issue here. Just got my brand new 110 yesterday and noticed the digital das began to dim down and then back up. It seemed to happed around dusk. Is there a fix for this?

 

No fix no matter how many dark/light display settings you change. Glad our 2021 doesn't do this. Then again our 2023 dash doesn't squeak and the A-pillars are silent at higher speeds. 2023 rear wiper with fluid jets in the blade works much better too. Seems like there are more the good changes then the one bad one. (the auto dimming digital dash)

 

How does one set the map to satellite view? That’s a cool feature I want on mine.
