2018 Camaro Convertible Dashboard Dimmer Question/Issue
I own a 2018 Camaro convertible and I have had an issue (on and off) where the radio doesn't dim with the rest of the dashboard at night when the lights are on. When using the dimmer switch the gauges dim like normal but the radio does not from time to time OR the radio stays bright the entire time. I am still under a warranty but I am reaching out to see if anyone else has had an issue like this as maybe I am missing something.
Appreciate any insight and recommendations. I will end up taking to the dealer but wondering if I am at fault for missing something. Kevin |

The first thing I would check would be whether there are any software updates available for the Infotainment system.

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried that a couple times and there is no update. I have started to wonder if the radio screen is not dimming because of my car lighter plug being used for a dash cam. Last night I started the car with it plugged in and the radio didn't dim. A few moments later after driving home and being in the garage I shut the car off, then restarted without the dash cam plugged in and the radio dimmed for the first time....BUT then when back to not dimming after about 5 minutes. So might be an issue with electrical or maybe a off and on faulty fuse. I will ask the dealer and see what they know. Just didn't want to leave my car for a day with them to find out they can't find anything wrong. |

Yes, you can disconnect the negative cable for about 10 minutes. You will probably have to re-index your windows. Also, it may not start until the second try.
