    I'm having an issue that I need suggestions on before taking it to the dealer. My auto light feature only works some of the time. Also, my am/fm radio wouldn't work yesterday (but it worked today). Luckily, blue tooth still worked so I still had some tunes. Any ideas? Are the two connected?

    I'm thinking it is the head unit. And the DRLs work just fine, it is the auto switch to full headlights that is intermittent. Sometimes they turn on, other times I have to manually switch to headlights on. Super annoying when you payed for an upgrade to auto on/off lights

    I think the DRL is based on lighting...I think. I dont have DRL other than the parking lights.

    Update:
    Just got the Sunny back from the dealership. They said the connector to the sensor was not clicked in, therefore when I hit a bump or something it disconnected itself. They clicked it in and tugged on it to ensure it stayed connected. Everything works now. Must of been a Monday when they put that together.

    Is it really a thread jack if the issue is resolved?
    Is it really a thread jack knowing that 97% of us are pretty juvenile?:D
