Question DIC dimming at random -- coding mistake?

Had my E90 coded this past weekend with a few simple things: instant MPG display, Euro MDM, wiper auto-park, AC off when car starts, weather band radio, and no iDrive warning. The day before, I had the dealer upgrade me to the latest integration (e89x-13-03-504).

I am now noticing that the DIC (the display between the gauges) is visibly dimming for a few seconds and then returning to normal brightness whenever I transition between bright and dark, such as pulling into a parking garage. The display brightness is already at maximum and I see nothing as far as "auto dim". This happens if the headlamps are on, off, or in auto mode.


Is this somehow the result of a coding mistake or is the connection to that display flaking out? Or is this normal behavior I've not noticed before?
