Dark screen at sunset, light at sunrise
Two small rules that switch the screen theme with the sun.
WHEN
Sunset — At sunset
THEN
- UI Appearance — Dark
Why it’s useful
If you prefer a fixed theme during the day but dark at night, this beats toggling it by hand. The car’s own Auto mode follows headlights instead.
How to set it up
- Open AutomationsWith the car in Park, open the App Launcher on the touchscreen and tap Automations.
- Create a new automationTap “Create an automation”.
- Set the trigger: SunsetUnder Trigger, open Time and pick Sunset. Set it to: At sunset.
- Action 1: UI AppearanceTap Add action, open Display, pick UI Appearance and set: Dark.
- Name and saveName it “Night Screen”, save, and make sure its card is switched on.
- Test itTrigger it once while parked with the screen on, and check each action happened.
Menu names come from the English strings found in current firmware and may change slightly at launch. There is no way to import automations, so you build each one on the touchscreen. Full walkthrough
Tips
- Create the twin rule on Sunrise → UI Appearance: Light.
Limits to know
- Only runs if the screen is on at sunset; otherwise it applies next time a trigger fires.
- Automations only run while the center screen is on, and never while Autopilot or FSD is engaged.
