shift_enter Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 as the title says I have a 2016 edge and I upgraded the USB ports so I can have Apple CarPlay. The problem I’m having is that when I dim the screen brightness in the Ford sync app it is back to 100% brightness when I switch back to CarPlay. The CarPlay screen is much much brighter than the Sync screen. I have tried adjusting both the dash brightness and the screen brightness to no avail, and there are no settings in the CarPlay app for brightness. The research I’ve done on Apple‘s website says this is a Ford issue. besides turning the entire display off, is there a way to dim the CarPlay screen?

shift_enter Posted September 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 update: the brightness was always on bright, and the brightness adjustment in the sync settings (through the onscreen menus) did nothing when my phone was plugged in or not. when i adjusted the brightness with the hard controls near the headlight switch it changed! the screen brightness control in the onscreen menu works again and now i don't have to deal with the sun shining out of my carplay screen when driving at night. it looks like it was a weird glitch that appears to be fixed.

ben senise Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 i also have a 2016 and this has been an issue since day one. i have to manually raise the brightness of the instrument cluster one click and then the display dims. i don't even fight it anymore.

shift_enter Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 yes ben, mine does the same thing, a quick adjustment on the entire dash brightness seems to reset the brightness to a more appropriate level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
