Why did they have a mode meant to sleep but keep the screen on?
Not everyone likes to sleep with light in their face.
Read that thread, not really helpful.
Rear vents have also turned on automatically and are blasting cold air at me.
This is what I'd do.
Change climate to manual, and set the temp to what you want
Turn on rear vents, and turn off the other vents
Use keep climate on and not camp mode
Leave the vehicle and get in the back the back (to keep the screen off)
If it's blowing cold air then something is wrong with your car. Maybe a reboot will fix it, and maybe it won't.
Basically did this with camping mode and found some black shorts to cover the screen.
Temp is up above 60 and already feeling like I can sleep.
Mess to actually use though trying to change options while already laying in the back.
I knew the hear worked, been working great this whole road trip. Auto with camping mode just has no idea what it's trying to do I think.Glad your heat is working. That would suck if it didn't.
This is a lie. When I got up in the morning and took the shorts off the campfire was still going.The main screen does go dark after a while.
If you are insomniac and stare at the screen you can catch its exact moment going dark.
This is exactly what camp mode should do automatically as a mode so I don't have to do all these things.Just completed another camping trip.
Things that work:
Do not use Camp Mode!
- Turn off Lights
- Set Temp to Keep Climate On
- Set to rear vents
- Turn off Walkaway Door Locks
- Turn off Dome lights
- Turn off Sentry
- Turn off Alarm under Safety and Security (scroll down on the screen, below Joe Mode)
DO NOT OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR once you have set these and are out of the vehicle. If you do you get the pleasure of resetting them again.
Once you are in your bed and comfortable, Press the door locks on your phone app. The car screen will immediately go black.
Enjoy the night sky-views, Good Night
Wait, had a few beverages and you have to go to the bathroom….
Unlock the doors via the Phone app. If you hit the button on the door, your head lights will go on and the car will make its sound. So make sure you unlock from the phone app first. When you return climb back in bed and hit the door lock again on the phone. Remember DO NOT OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR!!!!
You can store your phone on the back seat shelf, or in the door pocket, which ever is easier for you to reach. Door pocket or door handle works well if you are charging your phone via the usb’s for the back seats. Just make sure your cable is long enough.
Be prepared to answer fellow camper questions. I usually leave the doors and trunk open the second night after my wife has made the bed so inquisitive minds can get the answers they were seeking on where we slept last night when they didn’t see a tent.
This is a lie. When I got up in the morning and took the shorts off the campfire was still going.
