Default Sports Chrono dimable at night?

Just watched this youtube video and was surprised about the reflection of the sports chrono clock in the windshield at night.


That would totally distract me while driving.
Is the sports chrono dimable apart from the rest of the instrument cluster?
Otherwise this seems like a pretty bad design flaw.

I don't have a car yet, but it looks like all of the instruments are very bright, if not full bright? I would hope that it dims with the rest of the instruments.

Yes, you can adjust the Sport Chrono brightness in PCM. You can also remove the illumination of the hashmarks altogether.

This is my Channel. Yes, it's dimmable but I don't find it to be as noticeable in real life as it appears in the videos.
