Disregard, the auto high beams are working now.

Hello all.

This works great. The only issue is that when manually at night decrease the brightness of instrument cluster (and i drive screen) it also decreases the orange brightness of clima/radio/main console.
Is it posible to make them stay at full brigntness always?

Does this issue affect the backup camera / idrive display too? Or just the gauge cluster and hvac etc?

It can be done in Bimmercode expert mode...

Headunit
3005 APIX_CID_UND_ZIN
DIM_CURVE_X2
change values to 0x00, 0x00 (from 0x1F, 0xC0)

Instrument cluster
3000 Anzeige_Konfiguration
DIM_TAG_NACHT_LICHT_EIN_ENABLE
change value to aktiv

Instrument cluster
3005 FuBi_Parameter

DIM_DTN
value to 0x7F (from 0x3F)

After programming the codes above, go to Car/Settings/Displays/Control display and change the “Brightness at night” to it’s lowest value. Then use the standard I.P. scroll wheel to set a comfortable light level in darkness.
Yes!

I Just found the solution so we can have hvac (orange buttons) at full brightness at night and custom (but fixed) brightness on instrument cluster
0x7f on DIM_DTN is the value that means the maximum instrument cluster brightness at night.
The range you can specify is 0-127.
07F(hex) =127 (dem) so with 0X7F is set on maximum brigntness)

I changed it to 50 (50hex=80dem) so it seems fine on my eyes. Then scrolled wheel on full and now i have medium brightness on instrument cluster and full brigntness on orange buttons (hvac)
You can try smaller value if you feel it is still too bright.

Sorry for my bad english

Good morning is anyone able to confirm if the fix works for the 2023 id8 models as well? I just got the tints put on yesterday and its borderline unusable. Trying to decide at this point if it just makes more sense to remove the tint.
