Console screen brightness

I'm not sure how long this has been going on if it's just since the radio issue came up with startup but just recently have notice that upon startup when the headlights come on while my dash remains at the last dimmer setting my touch screen is full brightness at every startup. Usually have to press the dimmer+ and then it returns to the proper selected brightness. Anyone else having this issue?

For the past month or two. It's annoying. Just like the system defaulting to AM radio every now and then.

Ok glad I'm not only one. Yes radio is annoying too. Only work around I've found so far for radio is use remote start. If I do that it remains on station I last left it on.

No issue with my radio, but yes my dimming is always 100% upon start up. Very annoying.

If you adjust the dimmer after you start it the screen will snap back to where it was originally. For example I leave mine at only 2 bars for brightness all the time but when I start the truck the media screen is full. Then I push the minus button and the screen goes back to two bars. Only since the Sync 3.0 update. The radio issue is really annoying too.

Sounds like your APIM is going bad.
