Default Touch screen dimming

My screens are dimming then come back to brightness. Both center screen and touch screen. This occurs randomly. Is this a dealer easy fix???

Likely dimming due to ambient light conditions or something obstructing the sensor making it think it is dark out. I believe it is adjustable in the settings but I'm not sure.

Could be an issue with your ambient light sensor - have the dealer check it out unless something is just blocking the sensor.

Going under a bridge or entering other dark areas (pulling into your garage, etc.). Otherwise, time for a visit to the dealer to look at the ambient light sensor.

I've thrown mail up on the dash in my wife's Avalon and had the screens go dark. At first I was WTF until I figured out what I did.

Never drove a C8 question. Are the display screens clearly visible when there's bright sunshine outside? The reason I ask is the LCD screen in my 2010 Cadillac DD are not visible at all in the presence of bright sunlight.

BTW: The only time I've been in a C8 was as a passenger, for two laps, at Spring Mountain! Three months later I placed an order with MM.

We drove on the lower level of a bridge yesterday, on a sunny day, and the screen went into night mode.

Unless driving at night, I have the lighting rheostat (located by the parking brake switch) turned to full bright. That way when I enter my garage and the lighting switches to night mode, the infotainment screen is still bright enough for me to see my alignment stripe with the front cameras. At night I readjust it for the ambient conditions.
