United-Kingdom Auto Lights + Sat Nav

I have Auto Lights + Sat Nav. In the manual I see a screen that allows me to set the light sensitivity but I do not have this option on my Sat Nav system

The dealer says that's how it's supposed to be and the sensitivity option will not appear until version 27 of the firmware is released. I think that's nonsense. Can other people see this option to set the light sensitivity?

It's the same thing here in the U.S. The manual shows that we can change the sensitivity, which is way too sensitive, but it doesn't show as an option on the screen. I'm hoping that will change in the future.

I have the option and can change it - do you have spli screen and time and distance to arrival on your sat nav when in map view? I am trying to work out if I have an earlier firmware and if this is something that I will lose when they upgrade.

So far, that's what I've heard. Where cars equipped without the split screen navigation are able to switch the sensitivity of the headlights while those with the split screen arent.

The sat nav for the U.S. market,, which wasn't available until the March build, arrived from the start with the split screen navigation.

I've upgraded and you WILL lose it

I spoke to my dealer and he said he had checked a brand new one that had just arrived and it too did not have the adjustment settings. Suggested that it was to align the software to all markets - which seems to follow, as our US cousins don't have it either.

However ... as part of the update - I do think they have improved the sensitivity to a more sensible level Just my opinion.
