When i have my Iphone plugged in and put it on CarPlay, the screen does not adjust after dark. It is so bright i can’t see well, so i have to go back to the stock screen. Not a big deal but if i get a text or a call it goes back to the CarPlay and too bright. I have gotten into the settings and made sure it was on auto and tried adjusting the brightness on my phone to no avail. The interior light dimmer helps a little but i have to turn the instrument panel nearly off to get even a minor adjustment. Any ideas?

P. S. I also hate the word infotainment.

Following.  I have the same problem in my 2016 Silverado.  I haven't been able to adjust either.  I don't think there is a fix.

GM, if you are reading this, FIX IT!  Been an issue for a long time and GM doesn't care. File a complaint with the NHSTA due to it being unsafe while reversing in dark.  Keep hammering GM until they implement a simple software fix.

I have 19 LT Z71 crew cab and have complained to my dealer a couple times. They say no adjustment to the screen. It is horrible when backing up at night. It is too darn bright!  I echo the issue to GM and ask that they do something to help us out.

All of these complex electronics and they can’t put in a brightness adjust for the screen? I’ve tried the Night/Day/Auto adjust and it doesn’t do anything at all.

I agree the screen is way to bright. I used "static cling tent" cut to fit the screen. Works fine & the touch screen still works too.

I have a 19 and if the screen is bright during dark I only have to press the dimmer button once and it cuts out to where it’s supposed to be. If it’s dark during the day I switch the headlight knob from auto to off then back to auto and it corrects it. I have to do this daily but if I drive through a tunnel it switches back n fourth just fine... I’m not sure this helps or just solidifies the fact we all have a problem with the fancy light box aka infotainment...

I wish there was an update to this. I’ve had all types of radio issues. They replaced it, etc and still same issues. I really feel it’s a software issue

My screen dimming seems to work fine at night. However my issue is that when I put the car into reverse, it goes to full brightness and the camera is blinding me to the point where I cannot see outside well. Seems like a safety issue in my opinion as well.

There is an update to fix this issue as I had it done about a month ago, no problems now with the screen brightness now, contact your dealer and they will reflash the camera brightness.

I have the same problem. While using car play for maps the screen is so bright you can’t see anything else. It Dangerous and is a safety issue. I’ve tried everything as well.

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
