The screen dimming function needs to get "ambient light" information to determine how bright the screen should be to overcome the "ambient light". It currently gets it from "the headlights are on so it must be dark out" ... which is certainly a flawed assumption no matter what the stimulus for them being on ... manual or "auto" ... and dims the screen.

I did get Twilight to work though. I had to turn off "back light" to get it to stop changing the brightness level setting. What I did was manually put the brightness to full with the head lights on and off. Started twilight, turned off backlight within twilight, set the intensity to 0, and set the screen dim to what looked good to me. If, as you say, you drive with the lights on during the day, you should give it a try. |

As SVXdc posted, we need the AXTOYUSB NOT the AXTOYUSB-2. Here's a link to the correct adapter.

Oh shit, haha, I was thinking of a different post. I went ahead and changed the link to the correct one on page 91.

Every time the radio is paired with my bluetooth OBD scan tool and I turn the car off, I have to pair it up again. Is that normal? With my Samsung S5 phone, the OBD scan tool stays saved in the phone and it just automatically connects.

Maybe I worded that wrong. I mean I turn the car on and I have to manually connect any bluetooth device to the android unit. It doesn't save the devices in a memory like the phone does.
