Screen Brightness

[MAT1955]

@justinmiles ..... I own a 2024 GT Premium Convertible - on the lower left side of my dash (to the left of the steering wheel) by the rotary knob that controls the exterior lights (driving ect.) I can use a switch to to increase/decrease brightness. Doing so affects both the instrument gauge screen and the navigation/options screen simultaneously..... both dim or brighten exactly the same amount as each other. Even with both on fully bright IMO the screen is still waaay too dim on a sunny day. It is awesome at night but crap on a sunny day. I can find no other place to brighten the information/navigation screen.

This thread is so weird to me.

I have two problems.

1) The brightness is never saved, and always defaults to 100% full on vehicle start.

This is dumb. Why even have a setting, if it will just revert and you have to use it every single time. In any other car I've bought, this setting is remembered (it's a physical knob), or remembered (it's a saved software setting).

Ford has absurdly not kept this setting between starts. Dumb.

2) It's waaaaaay too bright.

I can't get it dim enough at night. It's so bad, I'm going to end up buying 80% dimming plastic so it doesn't burn my eyes out 24x7.

It's almost too bright during much of the day.


For me, I'm baffled that people think it's too dim.

Nope, Not normal.
The brightness setting should be saved,

Yes the screens are bright, I have mine down at the next to last dimmer setting.
