Auto headlights linked to navi dimming?

I've noticed that the automatic headlights are not linked to the day/night transition of the navi maps. Is there a way to sync them so when the lights come on the navigation goes into night mode as well?
I find it annoying that around dusk when my lights go to auto "on" but I guess it's not dark enough out for the navigation screen to go to night mode. As I'm driving and if I'm in traffic going under an overpass, the map screen will go to night mode and then the second I've passed through it will go to day mode again. Annoying that it's always going on/off (especially on my drive home since there is an overpass every few miles)!
It would be nice if there was a delay on the auto dark/light for the navigation screen, so it wouldn't be turning on and off for such quick passes through a darker space.

Have you tried reducing the auto headlight sensitivity? Maybe if you just make the lights themselves change less frequently, that will help.

Again, I don't mind so much that the screen is in "day" mode while my headlights are on, since it's still fairly light out. I just wish the screen didn't cut from day to night to day again so quickly (it's not like the headlights are that sensitive...they have a delay so they don't come on and turn off every time you go under a bridge or something similar).

All ought be in the owner's manual.

I know all of that. Doesn't help with the question though.

So it looks like this is only something the dealer can change. It's a combination of adjusting the "Instrument Dimming Sensitivity" from Normal to Dark (or keep at Normal), and then the "Instrument Restore Sensitivity" from Normal to Dark. Hopefully this will help.
