I tried increasing the brightness with the little dial next to the head light switch and that did nothing. I also tried increasing the brightness through the display settings and that also did nothing. Also couldn't find any auto-dim feature in the settings that I could disable.

Per the enclosed image, I think the auto-dim sensor is in this black portion next to the speedometer because when I put my hand over it, it dims everything and when I take my hand off, everything brightens up again.

Do you know if there's any way to turn off this auto-dim feature for the displays whether it be through a setting or coding? I imagine other owners who are tinting their windows are having the same issue?

Thanks in advance, guys!
Well, I live in Brazil.

Besides being a tropical country, this is not the safest place in the world to own a 65k USD car (which is the price for it in our money), so window tinting is pretty much mandatory, and eve though we have strict laws for it they are barely ever enforced.

As you can see in the picture, i use VERY dark window tinting, 4% transparency on my side windows and 35% on the windshield.
I never had a single problem with the dimming in any of my screens. Check your local dealer!
A onde vc mora no Brasil (...qual estado)?
