    I like to drive during the day with my headlights on. With the headlights on, the entertainment display screen dims. This also includes the rear camera. Is there a way to turn off the dimming of the entertainment center screen with the headlights on? I'm aware that will also leave the screen bright at night but I use my Tacoma 90% during the day.

    Not very helpful, but I haven't figured this out either. On my Ford the dash brightness dial could be dialed up until it clicked. That set the interior lights just like the headlights were off.

    In the head unit there is an option for day mode. I don't know exactly what submenu but I did find it. I'll try to write down the steps tomorrow

    Yes you can. It’s like 2 button clicks. Or you can get the tech package and it changes for you

    cricketfire46 you are correct. I found it. It's under Apps>Setup>Display - click on Day Mode. Thanks.

    They are. I can see almost everything just fine, except for those soft buttons on the radio unit.
