Stock Radio...can you dim the stupid thing?

So...driving tonight, which is rare, the radio display is STUPID bright...can it be dimmed? I looked at the owners manual and saw zip on doing this..

Any help would be appreciated!!

I thought mine dimmed with the adjuster on the left side of the steering wheel on the dash by the headlights.

I believe it should automatically dim when it gets dark out and the headlights come on ?

^^^^ This maybe?? I have never really paid attention to if it dims that way or not. I don't drive my Camaro at night anymore..

Can confirm, just tried it this morning on the way to work. The dimmer switch dims everything, gauges and head unit screen.
