What is Headlight Sensitivity Jeep Compass?

Is anyone else unhappy with their car's headlights? As far as I'm concerned, the sensitivity is far from mine. Most mornings going to work, I can pull down the visor, close the curtains, stare into the sun, and then the damn lights come on. Not a problem per se, but the dashboard and MyGig also dim their displays, making them unreadable ...... and I find they don't dim quickly in most oncoming traffic at night. Is there no way to adjust the sensitivity? I saw someone on some Dodge/Chrysler forums mention being able to adjust the sensitivity through some extended EVIC menu. Do we have something like that on WK?Stealer says there is no adjustment, but they also tried to tell me that my RER gets map updates from GPS satellites ..... There are a lot of text questions like this what exactly is causing this? The mystery is revealed here today ......
