Im thinking i may install a second light sensor that dims the screen at night but allows the daytime screen to remain on with the head lights on....bout the only solution i can think of that avoids have to manual dim the screen at night with a dedicated switch or something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the later there's a module under your dash that needs to be yanked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
