I'll take the dimming digital dash vs the DMTL pump tapping noise ALL day long

I also noticed this when it was foggy. I did not try it but I assumed it was because the head lights are on. I will try turning them off. I have them on Auto which I have always used even in my LR3. It was daylight but foggy so I think auto dim was confused.

I am also hoping this is solved soon and will try turning off headlights next time. Although I want them on when it is overcast. This needs to be changed so that you can over ride the auto dim.

I have it, super annoying and hard to see sometimes, not super safe, digital speed might be ok to read but nothing else. No setting to affect this, whatever you try.
I hope there's a way that JLR will get feedback on it.

I'm starting to wish that I got the analog dash since I never change the view anyway. Odd thing is that our 2021 never does this. Must be some "new and improved" feature for 2023. I think JLR does monitor dealer work orders and maybe this forum since so many 2021 issues were changed on our 2023. (A-pillar noise gone, new dash trim material doesn't squeak like a dog toy, rear wiper washer now inside the wiper blade, rear seat bottom latch position moved so it doesn't tear a hole in the headrest when folded flat, and probably more I have not found yet)

I just got my new 110 yesterday and noticed the same thing. At dusk the digital dash began to intermittently dim. At one point I could no longer see the dials at all. What is the fix here?

NHTSA complaints are designed for situations like this and they're very easy to fill out.

They are not on it, the gods were trying to fix lane assist apparently in 4.1 update,
Fill the NHTSA form, I can't as I don't have US address.
