Technical Series 8 dash lights are dim with road lights on

[Sideshow Bob]

On a Fiat Ducato 2022 series 8 with the 10” infotainment, I have a minor but irritating issue that when the road lights are switched on whilst driving the screen dims and is almost unreadable on a dull day or tunnel etc, when I look in the settings, the box to change this is greyed out but you can change the normal brightness of the screen with lights off? Anybody found a way round this please?j

The Ducato models all have a series number starting at series one - this forum is full of info on series 8 Ducato’s - I assume you did a search before telling me that you don’t find the info I gave you very helpful?

Mate I’d wind yer neck in if I were you, @jackwhoo is one of the regular guys on here who helps people all of the time, there’s a few of them and he’s one of that bunch, I’ve no idea what he does but at a guess I’d say he is a qualified professional fiat engineer.

I am not a fiat engineer and i have never heard of any ducato known by a series number other than one or series 8, generally they are known by the X number and 3 digits from the vin eg x230, x244 x250 and x290 (vin still says 250 x290 was used years ago. x295 may even be the magical series 8 dont know. Not a clue what series my twin egr model is , its a euro 6 without adblue with Twin egrs.

on the latest series "8" a "7" facelift with the fancy digital dash you should have a section on your infotainment that you can adjust but you need to register yourself and create a profile or the settings will be all in grey, hope that helps,

but I may be wrong as Fiat tend to do all sorts of protection measures, to stop us messers.
