Hi,
I have Chevrolet sonic and I buy witson unit direct fit with canbus, px5 4gb ram 32 rom.
The unit have 2 brightness settings, default and night mode.
the night mode suppose to activate when car lights are on, on my can I have automatic lights system and the automatic light is activated, when I turn on the car druing sunny day the drl (day running lights) are on, and the android thinks that lights are on so the night mode is activated al the time..
if I shutdown the lights on the car completely, then the android brightness is OK.
I can't find any solution for that issue, I do needs drl by law in Israel druing winter, but I need lower brightness from the android at night too.
Anyone had such issue and found a solution? Maybe there is some app thsr can change brightness by time of day?
Thanks!
Anyone?

Try going into the factory setting menu, password 126 and on the last page there is a setting for brightness trigger method - I can't remember the exact name but have a look. It worked for me on my Eonon MTCE PX5

hey guys
like a lot of us i'm setting my nexus 5 brightness mode to manual and with low value in order to save some battery life.
the problem is that when i get a call while driving in daylight i can not see anything on the screen and i have to start messing with my phone while driving......
this is why i developed this app.
it uses the car's Bluetooth to tell when i'm in the car and then sets the screen brightness mode to Auto. when disconnecting from the car's Bluetooth it set it back to what it was before.
i have been using it for a few months and i can tell that it is very useful for me.
it is a very simple App....and it does NOT effect battery life when installed.
i hope you will enjoy it as i am

I have an unidentified Head unit (this one http://www.preston-i-c-e.co.uk/vw-006-oem.php) and I've obviously changed something with buttons and now the screen turns itself off after a few seconds.
Brightness is set on auto, and to keep awake. Sat Nav stays lit all time, but any other app turns screen off.
Attached is system details. I'd love to know more about it!
contact the guys you bought it from?
i think there's a setting for screen auto off time, but you have to look for it. my unit(s) don't have this.
try display settings, under brightness, or factory settings somewhere...

Thanks, I actually flashed iqnavi on it instead, that worked!
I am wondering if it's possible to have the screen dim to let's say 25% when the headlights are switched on?
Thank you.

Yes..the autodim...is automatic
If you have the illum wire correctly plugged (by canbus or by direct connection from your car to the headunit) you have to enable the option on factory settings ("other" tab) under the option "brightness"

For my head unit that only illuminates the physical buttons of the unit but the screen is still bright.

This autodim feature is enabled on my 2018 Mistubishi Outlander Android Auto and pretty much renders the screen and GPS navigation useless during the day with headlights on, and I'm looking for a way to turn it off. It's required in my state to have headlights on during several driving conditions during the day, which dims the screen to the point of being effectively unviewable, especially with navigation apps, which also switch to night-mode display. So I have GPS map displaying black roads on dark black background in a dim screen that is a no-kidding-this-is-honestly-unusable level of ridiculous.

Any solution to this ? My 2018 Outlander GT same issue basically unreadable. I'm thinking of replacing it with a better display all together if possible. I can't stand a display on any device that isn't bright enough.
I just installed an Atoto A6 Pro. For about a day, the brightness adjustments were working. It is set up to dim with the headlights and moving the brightness adjuster worked great. Today, I noticed that the screen would not dim when I turned on my headlights. The LED lights on the buttons would dim, however the screen would not change. I tried manually adjusting the brightness through sliding the slider back and forth and nothing is happening. I have restarted the system a few times and that did not work. I have installed Headunit Reloaded and I am wondering if this is what is causing this issue, but I deleted the app and restarted and the issue still persists. Anyone have any clue how to fix this?
What did the reseller suggest?

I contacted ATOTO support and they haven't responded just yet. I bought it directly from Amazon new. I am wondering if it is a software issue because the brightness adjuster doesn't even work.
Hi,
The issue has appeared only in last few days.
- HU is running fine but always appears to be on the lowest brightness setting. It's usable by night but too dim for sunlight.
- If I try to adjust brightness, the UI shows the slider but it has no effect on the screen brightness.
- I've looked for and disabled any and all "auto brightness" settings which could be interfering.
- The unit can also auto-dim the screen when my headlights are on. I can tell it's getting this signal because the buttons on the unit light up when my headlights are on but it has no effect on screen brightness.
That's about all. Wondering if anyone has any ideas what could be going on? This is my 2nd Android Head Unit in as many years so I'm getting unbelievably frustrated.
Thanks.
