2016 JBL Screen Brightness

I have searched the forum and my manuals and I can't find this. At night with the headlights on automatic the screen on the head unit is so bright it lights up the inside of the cab to the point it is distracting and potentially dangerous.

I can't find where to get it to dim when the headlights come on. It needs to be there somewhere. What am I missing?

 

Well for a partial fix take it of automatic and put it on plain low, should dim it

 

Page 40 of your Entune and Navigation manual...

I know how to manual dim it. But it should auto dim when the headlights come on.

 

Go to:

1.SetUp
2.Display

3.General

Select desired item

and adjust

 

Thank you for the responses. I figured it out. Turns out you have to wait until night time to change the setting. Under the Setup / Display / General. There is a check box for "Day Mode" mine was checked. Once it's unchecked it auto dims when the lights are on.

 

Glad you fixed your problemo

 

Should just be able to turn the headlights on and uncheck Day Mode.

 

Oh dear that would be bright, day mode during the night. Glad to hear that you got it figured out.

 

Did you have your headlights on? Think I remember the check box not being there when the lights were off but it would show up once you turned the the lights on.

 

As noted above I had exactly the same issue. I searched every day and in the manual to no avail. I normally have my headlights set to Auto. Just turned my headlights to on and then went to this setting for Vehicle / Lights and Day Mode appeared! Unchecked it and issue solved.

 

You can also use the trip reset on the gauge cluster to adjust some brightness settings. Just turn it left or right to adjust.

 

I'm pretty sure it needs to be at night time. I could be wrong.

 

Or just turn the lights to on. At least that is how it was in the 2nd gens. Took me a while to figure this out back then as well.

 

Select one or the other and you get another screen.

 

I know this is an old thread, but anyone else's entune radio NOT in day mode and still have the radio fluctuate from bright to dim erratically?

 

When all else fails...

 

Mine does...although mine is an entune not jbl...sorry
