Do you know where the sensor is?Its a problem with the light sensor. If the sun is shining into the interior of your car, the display will get brighter. If the interior becomes darker the display gets too dim. I had I happen will driving, I started out with the sun behind me and the display was bright, when I turned to go a different direction, the sun wasn't shinning in the car and the center display became very dim. Luckily it does affect the speedometer / tachometer. There used to be a setting for display brightness that would work during the day time. It been changed to night time only. the setting can be fixed by recoding with Bimmercode. I would think BMW / Toyota should be changing this back to the old brightness control. I think the light sensor was probably meant for the convertible z4, and they should have disabled or removed it from the Supra, or at least changed the minimum brightness level. If they put the brightness control back, it should be ok.
It's at the corner of the gauge clusterDo you know where the sensor is?
I have a dealer with an inquiry into Toyota (FSB or something) and it has been at least a couple weeks without nary a word.Have toyota dealerships started to fix this or are they awaiting fix from bmw?
What is everyone experiencing?
There is a sensor on each side of the gauge cluster.It's at the corner of the gauge cluster
Interesting, I havenāt heard of any recall over it but I ordered the obd link to do the BimmerCode fix too. Figured Iād might as well since it can do other stuff too like memorize the last setting for the auto stop.I got a recall letter a few days ago for this. Dealer is 2 hours away so I will likely just bimmercode it.
I thought someone else on here got that and they took it in but it didnāt fix anything? I think I remember reading it on another screen thread.I got a recall letter a few days ago for this. Dealer is 2 hours away so I will likely just bimmercode it.
Recall doesn't fix the lack of brightness. It only fixes the dimmest brightness setting to not completely black out the screen.I thought someone else on here got that and they took it in but it didnāt fix anything? I think I remember reading it on another screen thread.
