Welcome to Compass. I think that there a a few who have the new ones that may be able to help.
Jeep Compass Trailhawk 2022 daytime display brightness too dim and not adjustable
Hi Everyone, My Uconnect system display and dashboard display are at about a 1/10 brightness in daylight. It happened for the first time today. Brightness was fine in the dark garage with headlights on. I have looked at settings, but even if I change the display to manual, the brightness section does not allow me to adjust daytime brightness (that option is dimmed out).
Thanks for any help.

Looked at this yesterday. And although I've not had an issue with auto brightness levels I can confirm that when you switch to manual brightness control you can't change the brightness for when headlights are off. Which is bonkers.
Also the brightness control next to the headlight switch only seems to affect the switch illumination.

I am bringing in the Jeep to the deale tomorrow. It seems that the screens are stuck on nightmode, but I haven't found a way to change that. I'm guessing the dealer may just do a hard reset. I'll let you know.
The Dealer said my problem was something they hadn't yet seen and not in any tech bulletins. They did do a hard reset and that worked as far as I can tell. I am not sure whether the reset reverts the system to a previous update. I'm also not sure whether, if that was the case, they reinstalled the updates. I'll repost if the same issue returns.
OK update from my side:
Definitely this is a bug.
First overcast day so headlights and cabin lights are doing their thing.
If I select "manual" for the auto screen brightness:
When the auto headlights are on, I can adjust the headlights off brightness setting.
When the auto headlights switch off, I then have access to the headlight on brightness setting.
So you can only adjust the inactive setting!

Hey all,
I had this happen to me today. I disconnected both batteries and let it sit for about 5 minutes. When I reconnected everything, the display brightness was back to normal. I’d tried the factory reset of Uconnect first but that didn’t do anything so as usual “turn it off and on again” seems to work 🤣.

my wife's jeep compass 2022 will not let me adjust center cluster display. control panel will not let me go into daylight mode under manual adjust. only night time mode will only let me adjust left and right screen settings. need to see my speedometer and how much gas i have. ready to turn this f***er in. and yes i have tried the left knobs underneath the column. riding around blind is not cool.
Dealership said "Well that's at bright as it will go." He did not care. Telegraph Chrysler Jeep.
tried update thru the wi-fi. Said no updates uvailable.
I took mine to the dealership was told “Jeep is aware and working on it “ and told to call back in a monthI am bringing in the Jeep to the deale tomorrow. It seems that the screens are stuck on nightmode, but I haven't found a way to change that. I'm guessing the dealer may just do a hard reset. I'll let you know.
