    It appears the light sensor for the auto headlight function is really sensitive. My Audi is much more conservative as to when it decides to turn on the headlights. A cloudy day appears to trigger the Passat. Any adjustments I can do via VAGCOM?

    I STFA but didn't see anything... if someone knows of anything can you point me to it?

    I understand your thoughts, but, as an Auto action does it matter if the available light triggers it sooner rather than later:- to me that's a plus..

    I think you can adjust the sensitivity of the RLS. Ive seen something for that in the central electric bytes not which it is right now.

    first test to see if working, then try changing color of glass setting through vcds. i found that in winter, since light is weaker, headlights were coming on sooner. changing the setting fixed that.
