interior diplays dimming

Post by TWH » Fri Sep 03, 2004 1:32 pm

Slightly odd one here, the brightness of the interior displays such as DIS, stereo, climate etc... seems to fluctuate randomly. I mainly notice it at night (obviously) when my headlights on but I don't think that's the problem.

I can't see any dial to dim or increase the brightness manually. Any ideas? Am I blatently not seeing a dimmer dial somewhere?

Cheers,

Rob

I had a similar problem with my RS4, i.e the DIS was impersonating a Xmas tree!! Result = New clocks under warranty...

The brightness of the dash illumination is automatically controlled. Yes, it dims when you turn lights on, but it is also controlled by the little sensor to bottom left(?) of speedo dial. The higher the level of incident light, the brighter the illumination.
