Headlight sensor with SatNav

With satellite navigation and auto-sensing headlights, you're supposed to be able to adjust the sensitivity of the headlights and when they come on.

I went into the joystick menu to adjust it and it's not there. It's missing.

Does anyone else have the combination of the sensing headlights and sat nav and have the menu available to change the sensitivity?

I have the same problem as you. I have also noticed that I can not change the information for the flat tire monitor even though I should be able to. That option on the screen is shaded gray but the auto-sensing headlights is not even listed.

In another post today, I asked the same thing. Seems that MINI decided we shouldn't change the sensetivity.

Funny they would decide that after they printed the owner's manual saying you could make that change.

That's nothing new. The MINI manual, as well as all others I have seen, have a disclaimer stating they have the right to change anything, despite what's stated in the manual. No doubt, someone changed a setting, got in a wreck and sued MINI. So now, the auto on setting is set to come on if a flea crosses the path of the mid-day sun.
