Had a routine oil change and tire rotation done on my 2016 Laramie and the dealer performed 3 software updates. All are listed as "99reflash". I remember one was for the tranny and one for the display - cant remember what the 3rd was for.
Having some issues with my vision, I immediately notice the radio display was fairly dim as if it was in night mode. I always have the selector switch in auto, the day/night setting in the radio settings to auto, and the dimmer up full to the first detent. Checked all the settings and the dimmer switch only to find the dimmer switch no longer works. All other settings are ok just no dimmer. Tried it with the lights off - still no dimmer. With the lights turned on manually - the dimmer now works but the display is still very dim.
Back in to the dealer, and after the service manager consulted the tech, I'm told this new update is being done due to issues with the sensor (he pointed to the dash mounted light sensor) burning up. Really? Think I would have heard about that here? I asked him to reverse it - no can do.
With the dimmer all they way up to the first detent I always had full brightness - that is no longer the case. It is always in night mode brightness and can only be dimmed when the lights are on.
I can live with the dash brightness but can barely see the radio display. And I think someone is whizzing on my leg and telling me it's raining.
