”The Manual says” The infotainment display will be dimmed with the headlights turned on and/or will have a menu selection that selects Day Mode On/Off.
This feature doesn’t work on my LE.
Anyone have the same issue?

I have a USA made CC XLE FWD and it doesn't have an auto dimming LCD - unless I'm missing something. It does have an icon on the home screen to turn the LCD OFF. :unsure:
I misunderstood, sorry. I have an LE AWD that doesn’t have the option, either. Someone posted the auto dimming on their car that had the JBL option. So, it is probably only available with the JBL?

I'm having the XLE with JBL, please see if this can resolve your concern.
I used to drive a Mazda CX-30, I like to adjust the instrument brightness to maximum and it will still auto dim instrument and infotainment during night time.
Seems Toyota or our Cross is not having the same logic as Mazda. After I picked up my Cross, I adjust the brightness to maximum and it was too bright at night, same as daytime and no dimming.
Then I found that if the brightness set to maximum (the dial / switch at up most position, you feel a click and locked) the auto dim will not work, it always at 100% brightness and blinds me, ha ha
Try turn down a little bit, you may feel the click and then you should have the auto dimming. So now I try turn the dial all the way up but stop right before it "click and locked at full brightness". Then I have like 90% brightness and both instrument and infotainment dim at night or go into underground parking.
Not sure if this is in the user manual or I misunderstood, but I couldn't find it...

Totally agree with post #14. Just bought a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid XLE (waited 7 months for delivery). Drove home at night with media screen at full brightness, in spite of media Display setting on auto-dim. Took it back to the dealership and no one seemed to know what the problem was. A service technician did a little research, though, and discovered that the dashboard light control (thumbwheel on the lower left side of the dashboard below the steering wheel, as shown in the illustration in previous post) will override the auto-dim feature on the media screen if the dashboard dimmer wheel is set past the point that it "clicks" into maximum brightness. All you have to do is back off the click, and the auto-dim feature works just fine. This really is something that should be printed in both the owner's manual and the media display manual. Also surprised that neither the salesperson nor anyone in the service bay knew that trick, like no one had ever had that problem before?
