I actually got mine to dim from it's insane brightness, but I'll have to go back and walk through the steps. I also think my dealer updated something because my NAV would never go into night mode (black maps etc) and would always be in the gray map display until recently.

Maybe there's been an update and it'll be installed once you bring it in for maintenance? Just a guess.

Thanks - If you can remember those steps, I await your post. Had every re-boot available up thru last month, so.......

Here's what someone else suggested on the forum:

OK. So you can change it using the controls on the steering wheel. Go to vehicle settings and then to backlight. There you can chose to what you like. Will it stay like that when you start next day, I will find out tomorrow

Yes, thanks - solved

Steering wheel manual adjust -and does, indeed, remain until manually changed. "Ambient' lighting would really be terrific on this car as w/our A8 color wheel adjustment and other new cars with a mellow mood light package.

Glad to hear that it worked for you!
To each their own I suppose, was never a fan of ambient lighting because I don't really look at them anyways.
