NBTevo iDrive display too dim in the daytime?

[tgb1974]

I have been periodically frustrated/confused my my NBTevo iDrive display dimming during the daytime. I remembered being able to adjust the brightness on the display in the settings menu, but in iDrive 6 that option disappeared and was replaced with only permitting a brightness adjustment at night. Why BMW changed that is beyond me.

Anyway, as you may or may not know, three is a coding solution to this. kubax86 just fixed this for me. Took 5 minutes. He changes the head unit parameter "dim_variant" from "new" to "old."

After that, the general display brightness setting is available in the settings.

The attached picture (which is not mine, I found it on the internet) illustrates the before and after difference.
