Does this stereo have an Auto-Dim function, such that it will dim when I turn on my headlights (if wired properly)?

Simple answer: Yes it does. More informative answer: It's actually very customizable for that purpose with a specific "day mode" and "night mode". It can be hooked up to the dimmer wire of the car and go to night mode when your headlights are turned on. Also, it can be configured to do night mode at a specific time (it only goes by hour though so 8PM, 9PM, etc). Night mode also let's you pick a totally different color as well as backlight brightness so, for me, I run full brightness white in day mode, then I run a dimmed orange-red at night which matches my gauge cluster. Hope this helps!

It depends upon the car wiring. Although the radio has auto-dim capability, it is not usually recommended for do-it-yourselfers. Crutchfield recommends that this function be ignored due to complications that can arise. If you really want this function, it's better to use a professional installer.

No it only repairs automatic headlights interior lights and dash lights on models without adjustable pedals. One of your switches are probably bad.

No. It has a dimmer knob on the lamp. One if the features I like about this lamp! It dims!!!!

Yes, it detects light levels and will flash when it is required. I think there are some manual overrides possible but I just use the out of the box auto feature.

I believe you are referring to: Lutron Diva Magnetic Low-Voltage Dimmer. Having wired home and built my own stereo from components I will say "YES". This leaves you the controller for changing colors. (just remember if it "does not come on" with the installed switch.....then someone...has turned the lights"off" from the remote.) AND: the remote may not respond while you are dimmed on the wall switch as you are also reducing the receiver on the led cable. It most likely WILL NOT respond when dimmed. I have a photo of what I did and will try to upload it after this is posted (No place for a photo here with this respond) I used poster putty to mount my controller on the wall against a door sill.

It does have an auto dim feature. The sensor is the little hole under "14" and above the LCD display (you can actually see it in the product picture). I have this and can confirm that the auto-dim does work.

Yes it does have inputs to dim the radio, but if you dont want it to dim dont hookup any orange or orange/white wires, just be sure to cap or tape them off when not using wires.

Not to the best of my knowledge. This is just a straightup light and switch.. with no sound control model. Hope this helps.

Yes it does, but there is a dimmer setting on the back of the light fixture, so it will only go dim but not completely turn off.

Just make sure the dimmer cable is correctly connected. some head units and or vehicles may not support this this feature though.

No this type model unit does not have the brightness ,illumination feature but it is such an excellent quality stereo system with sound , I put this model stereo in a 1998 original Dodge Intrepid factory vehichle with orignal factory speakers and what a big difference you will be satisified with this stereo unit

No, It is not fully automatic. You have to set it at what brightness you need. Other than that , it an excellent flask.

No it doesn't. Push the push button switch to turn on and hold down until it dims to desired brightness. It is very bright when first turned on.

Yes it does & very well. The only issue I have with this unit is that it is not adjustable. So that when there are a few clouds or slightly overcast The unit will stop Flashing, it does keep the headlight on tho. When I buy another unit I will made sure it can be adjusted due to light conditions.

sometimes it dims by itself and sometimes it remains bright. I have not yet found any manual means of controlling it.

Yes, very easily when car is in "daylight" mode (headlights off). I have had the unit installed since Thanksgiving ('13) and really do like the unit. The text is big and has to scroll if the name of the artist/song/channel is too long, and is a tad 'pixelated' but that's a minor cosmetic gripe to me...the sound and features do shine.At night time operation you can access the menu feature to use the 'dimmer' controls to set the buttons to the dimness of your choice.
