Random question, but if I'm not mistaken, it comes from the factory set at "8", right (the radio/video/nav/etc. screen)?

I found it set a little too bright when I take long drives in my car, so lowered it, but was playing with it again and couldn't remember the stock setting.

there's a setting??
I have that screen on about 2% of the time I'm in my car

what about ambient lighting levels?

K-A

Yeah, it's under the "Settings" or "Display" Menu (can't remember the name).

I keep the Ambient's at the OEM setting (I think 3 out of 5?) I have the almond 2-tone interior so the lighting has a nice showing off the almond tones, and I'm for some reason paranoid that if I keep them too bright they'll burn out prematurely.

My eyes are fairly sensitive to bright lights when I'm in an environment where I need to focus or stay alert/awake, so I seem to pay a lot of attention to this kind of stuff.

I was thinking "auto brightness"

I think the default is 5 on the COMAND screen. I keep my COMAND at about 4 or 5 and my ambient light at 5.

Wait, 5 out of 10 (for the COMAND screen)? Hmm, if that's the case then someone must have adjusted mine up to 8 or 9 when I got it, because I'm sure I lowered it at least 1 notch to 7 for a while.

Anyone else able to check and see what theirs is set at?

Auto mode

Auto Mode is for the Night/Day setting. There's also a "Display" setting that has you choose your own Brightness (different from the Auto/Day/Night mode).
