Default Info Center In Dash

I have looked everywhere for an answer but have come up short. Does anyone know how to brighten the center info readout? It's so dim I can barely see it during the day sometimes not at all if the sun is in the right position. I like to keep an eye on my fuel consumption etc but I can't see it half the time.

It's a common problem with these cars unfortunately. Somebody just brought this up; Module Master will fix if for about $150. Unfortunately you'll have to wait because it looks like they suspended the service until they get new parts. I haven't used it but I plan to when it gets worse.

Try twisting the left most post sticking out of the console. One of them controls the brightness of the cluster.

Thanks so much! For some reason I couldn't find out about the dimmer in the owners manual. Twisted it to the right and it brightened right up.
