On my 2010 C30 there's a small dome in the middle of the dash, close to the windscreen, and I believe that is a light sensor. Covering that should have the radio screen change from green to black. Perhaps that has failed? Mine will also light up my dials once it starts t get dark if I've left the light switch in the default '0' position.

Agree, there is an auto dimming sensor.
I don't recall a setting in in the waterfall to adjust it but maybe vida can do it.

Thanks guys for help. Im new owner and is like that since I got the car. Got a wee sensor with red light in the middle on dash, but thought its for alarm. Never check on vida, but looks like I have to find someone with vida in Ayrshire or Glasgow. Any forum members with vida in Scotland who can help me check the car?

Yes, the sensor is near the red light.
Mine will change over to night mode even in very dull and gloomy daytime,
