So this is driving me nuts. Every day on the way to work (near sunrise) and home (near sunset) the dashboard is constantly changing brightness whenever a tree throws shade onto the sensor on the top of the dash.

Is there ANY way to disable this obnoxious behavior? I have the dash lights all the way up, but every time the smallest shadow falls on the sensor the dash is almost too dark to read.

At least on my Base I don't have to worry about the stupid auto-highbeams.

I assume your Sync system also changes too? I thought there was a way on Sync to adjust the sensitivity for this and how quickly it adjusts.

… or maybe I imagined it. 🤷‍♂️

Different bug fight... but the struggle is real brother, no matter the bug....
I know, I just never pass up an opportunity to insert Starship Troopers humor into things. Tremors, too.
