I believe that's not a user adjustable item. The analogue version has a sensor built into the front which you can spot. Reads the brightness of the day and adjusts to match. This is where people shine a torch on it to check.

Think you will find the sensor on the display if you carefully look at it. Analogue version you can spot. Musing on that thread whether the LHR/RHD placement since its not moved leads to more issues on RHD. May or may not make sense on RHD Seats.

Facelift - Virtual cockpit brightness
Is there a way to increase the brightness of the virtual cockpit? I know about the rotary switch down at the headlight cluster, but that's up full and there's sometimes I feel like my virtual cockpit isn't as bright as I'd like it to be. Cheers

Thanks for that, I found that menu. I think I’ll have to try it in the dark with the headlights on and see if it makes a difference, it certainly doesn’t in daylight.
I reckon that is the interior lights as the title not the intensity of the virtual cockpit display that is on automatic brightness defined by the diode sensor. You point a bright torch at the diode once you find it and the display changes in brightness. That the preoccupation of boards with that diode on VAG cars.
I believe the infotainment brightness of the console is driven by sensors in mounted in the centre mirror area they scale back the infotainment brightens on mib2 at least but not the central cockpit display. That is an adaption of that setting. That's different from the virtual cockpit.
Saying that this Audi thread has found a button / twiddly knob plus VCDS setting. The cockpit isn't locked down for VCDS on facelifted ones so anybody with real intent can try a bit of VCDS on it. Post 10 on that.
If the overall control adjusts the virtual cockpit brightness then the VCDS adjustment must fine tune that in relative terms, but if it's completely independent then that fine tunes how the automatic adjustment works.
Don't have the virtual cockpit in the Ateca. The Arona with it on has never been a problem in the brightness department.

Dimming of Virtual Cockpit - AudiWorld Forums
Q5/SQ5 MKII Discussion - Dimming of Virtual Cockpit - I have a 2018 Q5 Prestige. How do I dim the virtual cockpit to a really really low brightness? The minimum brightness setting is way brighter then I would like to have on long night drives (especially when the head-up display is active).
