    Is there really no way to dim the dash lights without stopping the F'n truck... every other car i have had there is a slider or dial... is it really on in the settings which lock you out while driving. im going down the high way and the sun sets and i am getting bad glare this is dangerous...

    I recently realized how to turn off the stereo Display that’s been handy for night driving.
