I am planing on changing some of the default setting in my car and one of them will be light sensor sensitivity. Default is level 3. With range of 1-5, which way is more sensitive. I would assume 1 but i might be totally off. Not sure if dealer would know, so rather tell him number instead of just make it more sensitivity.

Thank you for both of your reply. So would Light 2 be most sensitive?

ylen13 - Just did this on my 2008 Highlander (sat with the Service Tech as he did it)...LIGHT 2 is the most sensitive as noted by djkor...The Service Tech really had no idea what he was doing or what the settings meant. I had experience with this on VW/Audi products via VAG-COM...Toyota settings could still be MORE sensitive but this seems to be an issue with all the Japanese brands (light sensors used by Audi are awesome in comparison). The one in my G35 is like the Toyota - MODE 3 (the most sensitive Nissan/Infiniti setting) is still not sensitive enough. I cover the G35 sensor with a piece of 35% tint cut to size and this helps. The Toyota sensors set up higher, so they are a little tougher to cover. Good luck...
