I played with sensors, dealer reflashed dashboard module or whatever, one of the latest updates got it less sensitive but still does it. Safety violation if you ask me, can't see speed on it.

This is one of the dumbest "features" on a car to date. Auto dash-dimming via a light sensor. Driver should be in total control of dash brightness at all times. Everyone's eyes and needs are different. I have a MY24 110 (small screen) with the same issues. At dusk the cluster gets extremely dim. I had an Audi that did exactly the same thing but I was able to program it brighter with the OBD11 software tool (similar to GAP).

So my 2020 X w the digital dash does not have this problem, never has.

Those of you that do should keep making noise about it bc it would drive me crazy.

JLR has to be aware of this stupid dimming dash feature as they have adjusted it over the years. Our 2021 dash doesn't dim, 2025 does it once in a while but the 2023 dash dimmed all the time with slightest daylight change, as in a cloud floating in front of the sun for a few minutes. I'm convinced that during the chip shortage, JLR used different suppliers for many of the 2023 parts. Daylight sensor included, which I suspect also changes the heating/cooling fan speed. I had to manually adjust the 2023 fan speed, typically blowing too much cold air regardless of what the auto temp was set at. I have yet to manually change the fan speed on our 2021 or 2025.

I have a VERY early 2021MY 110, and my gauge cluster automatically dims. However, mine doesn’t get so dim that it’s nearly impossible to see. It is annoying, but it’s not that bad to where it’s a safety problem.
