Bespoke Auto-Dimming Feature - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

FRSTRM · 11-06-2013, 11:37 AM

Does anyone know how to turn off the Auto-Dimming feature on the '13 Bespoke? I like to run with my switchbacks on and when you turn the lights on it auto dims the display (making it hard to see with sunglasses).

Thanks ahead of time.

Step 1: Pull out Radio
Step 2: Find the wire for the Dim
Step 3: Snip Snip

there is a setting in the setup menu somewhere to enable "daytime" mode all the time, i.e. so that it never dims with the lights. Just poke around in the settings till you see it, or referance the owners manual.

I think only the 14 touchscreen model has that feature.

hmm, that may be, i have a 14, so i have no other basis for comparison.

there has to be a setting to adjust the backlight. just keep poking around that menu.

I've poked around at pretty much everything. I don't have the owners manual because I bought it used. I can adjust the backlight, but it still auto dims with the lights. I don't think there is an option to turn that off and I'll just have to get over it. Not a big deal!

Looks like that's just the manual for the Bespoke App (iPhone 4)

For my head unit you have to disconnect the orange/white wire from the head unit - this is what taps into your headlights
