Personally, I have no complaints and I want it to automatically dim when it gets dark out. I don’t find the short period and minimal amount of dimming (for me) to be a problem. Once past that transition period (slightly dimmer than my preference) and the sun sets, the display is perfect (dimmed for low light/night driving). It’s also perfect all the other times, bright and clear (day time driving). If I hadn’t read about the dimming issues prior, I honestly wouldn’t have even given this a second thought. I certainly wouldn’t want to turn off the auto dimming and manually dim the display every time it got dark out or I drove into a tunnel. That’s why I think the issue is actually one of the two scenarios I posted earlier.

 

 

@holtenc Do you use wireless or wired carplay? I always use wireless (except for the rare times i need to charge) and mine never shows heading bound unless I have an active route entered. But today as a test I connected via wired and after a force close of maps app on the phone and relaunch the IDD then showed heading bound. I then disconnected the cable and it quickly went northbound again, but then right back to heading bound. I'll see if it actually remembers when I drive later today though.

 

I use wired and do not even have Bluetooth setup. Though to be clear the maps display just started acting that way (oriented to heading) just the other day. Using beta ios17 and not sure when the last time maps was updated.

 

I'm also using the latest iOS 17 dev beta on a 14 pro max. Pivi is 4.0.1.

 

Thanks for posting this @rutiger .. didn’t even think to force close the maps app on the phone. Tried this wirelessly and the map in the IDD changed orientation right after I force closed it. Also on iOS 17 dev beta with an iPhone 14 Pro and Pivi 4.0.1. It remembered it after a few drives today.
The map is still kinda zoomed out and it’d be awesome to change to a 3D view or use satellite view but it’s a lot better than having it always have north facing up

 

Yeah mine has remained to use heading direction thankfully. In the one route I tested I see it zoom in and out automatically based on speed maybe? Also, mine did tilt to 3D mode automatically. When I stopped the route the map went back to 2D mode.

 

That and different regions of the world will have varying degrees of bright sun/cloudiness, as well as lighting variation. Here in Ohio, we will get all of that within a week.

Jokes aside, the dimming IDD hasn't been an issue for me this week, and not so surprisingly, it's been 80-90 degrees and full sunny for about a week now. It's much more problematic on overcast or very cloudy days.

 

My 110 is currently in the shop to replace headlamp washer nozzles. I have a Jag F Pace for a loaner and see that its Pivi system has a working Weather app, however last time I checked the app in my own car before it hit the shop it was not connecting (I recall there was a supplier issue at one point preventing service).

Am I to believe now that all systems have a working weather app as of quite recently and should I expect my own app to connect and work when the car is back with me too?

I know it’s kind of a redundant app but I do love having it on the screen and miss having it accessible in the Defender since I gave up my old V90!

 

Outside of a two week or so outage in.. July I believe? My weather app has been working
