So I just drove it off the lot and I can’t see the screen. It’s too dark. Guess they still haven’t fixed this issue. Isn’t there any sunlight in Austria?

This should help:do you know what its called in bimmercode? i dont think i saw it last time i coded my car.
The idea that you would lose your warranty, despite the hyperbolic and often contrived stories you might hear in the internet, because you used BimmerCode to adjust a setting to what is standard in other displays made by the manufactúrate is, I think, misplaced and grossly overestimates actual risk (if there is any at all). But, I am not criticizing you for being cautious.I hate to take a chance to invalidate my warranty on a brand new car. Why can't BMW who makes the Supra just allow users to adjust the daytime brightness just like the nighttime brightness. Better yet, fix the problem in the code that reacts to the light sensor by making the screen bright on bright days!!!!

I will pummel any offending dealership with armchair lawyering and some serious science. I did some piranha work back in the day, so I will be armed with some potent critters.I went to my dealership this past weekend as they're storing my car till the roads are salt free. I specifically mentioned this issue to my sales guy and how it can be changed by using the Bimmercode. He was quite familiar with this and I asked would it cause issues with my warranty and he said no. He did say if anything, convert everything back to "factory settings" when bringing the car in for maintenance and all should be good.
Worse comes to worse, have H2O_Doc on speed dial and hand the phone over to the dealership to have a warranty chat!
I can just see it playing out now, the phone is handed over, you hear the muffling of the voice on the phone and the dealership dude just nodding his head yes but not being able to get a word in edgewise looking wide eyed. Then saying "yes sir understood, no problem.......bye", handing the phone back and saying "we're all good, and we will get the car to you ASAP".I will pummel any offending dealership with armchair lawyering and some serious science.

You people are great, thanks!I can just see it playing out now, the phone is handed over, you hear the muffling of the voice on the phone and the dealership dude just nodding his head yes but not being able to get a word in edgewise looking wide eyed.
