Default OBD11: adjust dimming photosensor?

The auto dimming dims too early when it's still right outside. Anyone know if this can be adjusted with obd11?

I agree, at dusk the screens go very dark. I have to adjust cockpit dimming up to the halfway point at this time of day or sometimes if it's raining. This is an issue on prior Audis as well. There are some dimming settings posted in the OBDeleven thread, but they don't address the light sensors. I've experimented a little bit with changing the light sensor settings through OBD but didn't have much luck. I kind of wish there were no light sensors and we could just adjust the brightness on all the screens to exactly how we wanted them. In bright sun the screens get too bright and at night I wish I could dim them just slightly more. The one dimming setting posted in OBD was a great help to me though, it dimmed the VC down a couple notches to where its not as distracting at night.
