[IvanG]

Any news about accessing the secret menu on SE?

 

[siteguru]

Nope - I'd be interested too.

We are all still waiting and hoping for a friend of a tech to ‘donate’ this information…

How do you turn down the brightness on the white screen at night?

How do you turn down the brightness on the white screen at night?

Don't use the white screen at night, set mode to auto and the screen will darken - it's still too bright IMO, even then... but less blinding than day mode.

 

[Rolfe]

Or if the screen is flicking annoyingly into dark mode when the lights come on in daylight (see elsewhere for how to fix that), simply switch manually to dark mode when it gets dark. Some people like to run in dark mode all the time.

 

[tsedge]

Dark mode all the time makes the two screens match much better and it is still easily visible in the day. The lack of auto brightness adjustment is a shame as is the driver's screen not going dim enough for night work.

 

[Rolfe]

I don't find that to be a problem, but I've heard several people complain about it.

How do you turn down the brightness on the white screen at night?

If you mean the centre screen, then swipe down from the top of the screen on the right hand side (and left, I think, but not near the centre as that brings up the HVAC controls) and you will get a selection of controls. There is one for the brightness of the screen.

Also, as others have said, there is also a dark mode, which is what I use all the time.

Voice commands? You don't need to use the screen for most things.... allegedly. Have fun trying them. Still trying different ways to say Turn ***** LKA off, but doesnt seem to work... ye t

How many have you tried?

 

[Brettus]

I’d like something useful like heated steering wheel/seats or drive mode. Both of which are a bit buried in menus when using AA/carplay.
But if wishes were fishes…

Found it, thanks 4 the info

 

[richdickw]

Hi the code is 200519

 

[siteguru]

For the Trophy LR. (And probably ER and X-Power). That method doesn't work for the SE.

 

[STJ73]

Can you use this to de restrict it lol ? for a track day obviously!

 

[IvanG]

If you're interested to accessing secret menu in the SE version, go to the phone keyboard and input the code ##4479#*

 

[Rolfe]

OK, somebody has to do this now. It will not be me. Have at it.

That’s not it. The forum changes the code. You need to enter it in code format…

#*#4479*#*

Don't stress, you can't break anything in that menu. It's the same one the dealers get to do updates and see version numbers.
You can't actually do any harm in there.

There is an extra level of engineering menu in there that we don't have access to yet.
If you tap the bottom right corner of the engineering screen 5 times, a password box pops up. We haven't cracked that one yet.
