I had to drive my GT last night in the dark smile it was the first time that I have actually done this since buying the car in May. I use carplay for displaying Waze as my satnav of choice and found that the info screen brightness was a real distraction. Is there anyway of reducing the brilliance? I've looked through the PDF manual and couldn't see any information on this so I'm assuming not.

My eyes are a bit sensitive. So reducing the brightness was the first thing I did after taking the car from the dealer. I remember reducing brightness for the dashboard and the multimedia screen.

I never used my phone for navigation. So, I don't know if phone connectivity somehow overrides brightness setting. What I remember it was somewhere in the settings menu. If not on the settings of the multimedia screen check the settings menu on the dashboard.

Thanks, I also have very sensitive eyes as I had interocular lens replacement surgery a couple of years ago. I did have a play with the dashboard settings but that just changes the dash illumination. I'll have a play and see if I can find anything.


Update
It was in the settings menu. Set to 75% default reduced to 50% and we see how that goes.

Weirdly, this setting is only available when it's actually dark. That threw me for a bit.
I found 50% still bright, think I'm runnin 20% now.

I’ve had my car for over 3 years and it was second hand when I bought it.
When I first drove it in the dark I cursed as I thought there was a problem with the centre screen between the speedo and tachometer.
It looked like some of the pixels had failed on the display but when I looked carefully I realised that the pixels were going from blue to white in a random fashion. Obviously it was the stars twinkling!
Only works when the lights are on of course.
