Lexus NX: Display does not Dim when Light Control Switch is Turned ON
DESCRIPTION
If the navigation system is turned on with the light control switch in the tail or head position, before AVC-LAN communication is established, the multi-display assembly dims according to the illumination signal received via a direct line.
After AVC-LAN communication is established, the multi-display assembly dims the display according to a dimmer signal sent via AVC-LAN communication.
The radio receiver assembly changes the multi-display assembly between daytime mode and night mode according to the illumination signal input.
