I'm using a Galaxy S25+ running Android 16 with One UI 8.0 and Android Auto version 15.7.654634

I read on other forums that there is a way to force AA to use day or night mode based on the phone's system time but I can't find the setting for this. They say its under the AA settings but there is nothing. The only setting for day/night is for Google Maps running in AA. But the Auto setting on that keeps it in sync with the car's lighting which I don't want because the light sensor is constantly picking up shadows during the day as the sun angle is low now, throwing my headlights on and the AA screen into night mode. I would like to be able to force it to sync to the phone's time and keep it in day mode during the daytime.

I tried entering Developer Mode but there is no setting there either. Some people said I'd find it there.
