Keep screen at full brightness while charging?

[Darth Mo]

I have a 2017 Infiniti Q50 and for whatever reason they were quite behind the times not adding Android Auto/Apple Carplay until 2021 models. I'm a field engineer so I use navigation and GPS throughout the day and the stock navigation system is just lacking without Google integration. Got a quote for installing a unit for $1400...nah.

So I bought a 7" tablet from Verizon and 3D printed a mount for it and it integrates pretty well into the existing console. Added the $10/mo plan for data and its good to go. One thing is that if I don't have navigation running the screen will dim then turn off but I would like the map to stay up. I did the Developer Option of 'Screen on while charging' however the screen will still dim after the max 10 minute screen timeout.

Is there an app or another setting to keep the screen at interactive brightness. I can live without it but that's the only shortcoming of my little project.

TIA

Have you tried disabling adaptive brightness under display settings and increased screentimeout?

I have; it will still dim after setting to the highest longest timeout of 10 minutes.

There are little apps called caffeine of different varieties in the play store their purpose is to keep the screen active. Maybe one of these will help.
