Center display doesn't dim when headlights come on automatically. Is this normal?
I just recently bought the car so I'm still trying to figure out how some of the stuff works. I have my headlights set on auto and different brightness set for day/night on the center display. The instrument cluster lights dim whenever the headlights come on but the display does not. Is this by design?
Also, there are two different day/night settings for the display brightness. One when in auto and one when the headlights are manually turned on or off. Is this also the way it's supposed to work?

Do you have an aftermarket radio in the car? Never heard of such an option or setting on a stock maxima. I do have a setting on my kenwood that sounds similar to yours. I never got the dimmer to work on my aftermarket radio. I just set it to auto and it dims when the gps satellite tells it to. Which is usually as it is getting dark at sunset. Works out better for me since i always drive with my lights on.

When the parking/headlights are on the lights for the driver's information and climate control should dim with the speedometer when you move the dimmer switch. If you turn it down all the way then it shuts everything off. And it it is turned up all the way then nothing dims when the lights are turned on.

Learned something new. Cant say that i will retain it but i will atleast for a few days. I have a 2007 non-bose 6.5gen. I looked at the user manual and it doesn't say much about the "day/night" settings. All it says is to press the "day/night" button to toggle between say and night brightness and use the joystick(left/right) to adjust the brightness.
Kenwood dnx9140 is what i have.
