Auto dimming rear view and bright NAV
Hey all, yet another problem with my new TL. I have noticed that my rear view mirror does not appear to dim at all regard of the button position, and my navigation screen never goes into night brightness and it's pretty darn bright when it's dark outside. Are these things linked in some way? Are there settings I need to be checking?
Thanks!
Thanks!

That button should light up when auto-dimming is activated.
Test by turning on the headlights, then push the MAX button (above the brightness adjust switch) on and off.
With "MAX" on, the Navi will stay in bright Day Mode. With MAX off, the Navi should go to the darkened Night Mode.

When the auto-dim button on the rear view mirror is pushed in, is it lit?

Go to the brightness setting and back the setting off one bar or more from maximum.

OK, so the button is pushed in and the little light comes on but the mirror does not appear to dim at all when cars are behind. I will continue to observe, but it certainly does not work like the mirror on my Subaru. Maybe I just haven't driven enough at night yet, but I have not seen it dim at all.
