auto-dimming/bright display in convertible

[nordique14]

I was driving in the bright sun with the top down and when I was stopped under a bridge (in the shade) for a red light, the radio display dimmed after a few seconds. When I was back in the sun, the display brightened again. Pretty cool.

I never noticed that before...probably because I finally swapped my polarized sunglasses for regular ones and I can finally see the display now.

You'll also notice the headlight turns on. When that happens, the interior lights dim in response to the 'darkness'.

I didn't have the headlights in the "auto" mode. I keep my headlights in the off position so they do not turn on automatically (for example, when I am waiting under a bridge for a red light).
