So my dimmer **** does nothing?
Some of you may know that I seem to have the opposite problem that most of the other C7 owners have been experiencing. My gauges and screens NEVER dim. They stay bright all of the time. I have never had the dim at dusk or dawn problem that so many have.
Anyway, another member pointed out the **** which should serve as a traditional dimmer. However, nothing changes when I turn the ****! Also, I will turn it all the way to the right, which in most vehicles turns on the interior lights, but not for me. Nothing happens at all
.
Could you guys verify that the dimmer **** does, in fact, work on your vehicles? Thanks!

I guess my problem is a blessing in disguise 
. I am debating whether or not to take it into the dealership to get it fixed before software is released to fix the dash being too dim issue. I don't want to get the **** fixed only to have to deal with the dimming problem!

I do believe there is an option to not have the dash lights dim in the console, although I haven't tried it.
As the others have pointed out, my dimmer **** works exactly how you described that it should work. Although, I find the **** is very flimsy -- one quirk I don't mind. I never use the **** anyhow.

VIN 2875, verified. Yes, my dimmer **** will dim the IP and when turned all the way to the right cause the interior cabin lights to come on.
