I searched the other infotainment screen related threads but didn't see any mentions of the sporadic problem I'm having with my 2021 Pro AWD. The infotainment screen will sometimes be very dim. It is readable and functional, but the screen brightness appears to be 50% or less so that navigation using Google maps is more difficult, for example. Rebooting the infotainment system isn't effective. It just comes back to full brightness on a random future start-up. I can't find any screen brightness adjustment.

Any ideas?

I am having the same problem with my screen, its very dim, and the interior lights are not working, and also the lights on the sun visor are not working, but the headlights and back lights work, I did not touch anything to adjust the lights, it was working one day and the next day it was dim, PLEASE SHARE WHAT YOU GUYS DID TO FIX IT. I did go under an option that showed LIGHTS and set it to max but the screen stayed dim.

There is an ambient light sensor located somewhere in the car (don't ask me where as I do not know).
This sensor brightens or dims the screen and interior lighting depending on how bright it is in the car.
It sounds like either this sensor has failed and thinks it is dimmer in the car than it really is,
or you have inadvertently covered the sensor with something.
