Well, I just got a 2008 Fit after someone totaled my 2007.

But one thing I noticed on this one is, when I turn my headlights on, the radio is dimmed quite a bit. Now I dont remember this being the case in my old Fit. I mean, doesnt it make sense that when you turn you headlights on, the radio should get brighter, seeing as how you are probably driving at night?

Is anyone else's like this? Or should I go and see me dealer?

 

its suppose to be like that, but i think you can turn the dim feature
off by turning your odo dial so that it does not dim.

if you dont dim at night, it's going to appear even brighter vs during
the day cause your surrounding is darker.

 

Yeah its normal, they all do that.

Thanx guys, i just wanted to make sure. It had been awhile since I was last in the 2007 Fit, so I didn't remember it that great.

 

i think if you turn the knob all the way up it wont dim at all

 

you wouldn't want the lights inside the car to get very bright at night because the contrast from the interior lights diminishes the light from the headlights

 

If you really want to turn it up, on the odometer reset/trip meter button in the upper right of your dash near the fuel gauge if you turn it clockwise it should brighten the interior lights, counter-clockwise to dim them.

However, like has been stated, normally you'd want them to dim at night. Aside from glaring your windows, if the lights inside your car facing you are too bright, your pupils will contract to restrict light and make it harder to see down the road, conversely to get the best view of the road turning the interior lights as low as they can will make your pupils dialate and allow more light to come in your eye from down the road. Most of the time I have my interior lights all the way down at night time.

 

are you guys like f-king metally challenged? i already answered his question. lol


nono...you turn the dial to the left and the real quick to the right and also up and down...

 

Who the hell knows what an odo dial is? I only posted to clarify since if I hadn't already known how to do it I would've never known wtf you were talking about.

 

I would get a pair of pliers and pull and twist the odometer knob as hard as I could. When it comes off, you will not have to worry about it anymore.
