Oh no. Sorry. Was referring to the camera. The regular mirror is dark but I can see fine. Did you turn the auto brightness off? Maybe?

yeah tried turning auto brightness on/off as well. no joy.
Not near my GX now but has anyone tried this to verify if that works? I sure hope so that drives me nuts!
Turning off that specific feature eliminated the auto-breaking for me and drives/breaks like normal for me.
Yes, I was able to do the same last night. Much better!
I use the radar-assist cruise control but I had to turn off the lane tracking/steering assistance feature. It's neat to have the vehicle almost drive itself on wide-open long stretches of highway but it doesn't work well in city highway traffic. I also hate the dragging feeling on the steering wheel if you lane change without actuating the blinker and moving slowly and deliberately like a robot. I kept feeling like I was running something over or hitting bad pavement on the roads with all the weird steering wheel feedback.
What's really annoying is trying to figure out what electronic driving assist feature is called what and what menus you have to drill down into to turn this stuff on or off. I'd use the lane assist feature(s) if I could quick press a button to turn it on or off but you need to push about a 100 buttons and study the various menus to find that crap.
I also turned off the auto-braking almost immediately. I swear my mileage was so poor because this thing was always riding the brakes. It still auto-brakes with the radar cruise but I have the radar on the "follow closest" setting. Even following as close as possible I'm still getting passed left and right.

How do you turn off auto braking?
THANKS
In the settings in the dash, it is indeed possible to turn OFF the kick sensor for the rear hatch. Just thought somebody might wanna know that. Turned mine off. It was detecting my feet and legs just about every time I went up to the rear of the truck. You can actually turn off the rear hatch motor too so it doesn't work at all, but not sure why you'd do that?
I turn off the power hatch when towing because the gate would hit the trailer jack if someone were to accidentally open it.
Good point. I didn't think of that because I don't have to do that with my small 5x10 cargo trailer. Tons of clearance with the jack on that one.
