CarPlay - Apple Maps connected with headlights ?

Using iOS 13.3.1 ... noticed that in dark mode, Apple Maps are displayed in bright light mode. I read in external forums that Apple Maps are connected with headlights. But I haven't seen any documentation about it. Is this true ? Is there any way (code) to display Apple Maps in dark mode when mode is set to dark ?

Apparently, you're right.

But seems there is a solution via settings :

If that does not work, file a bug report.

What I mean is, in dark mode, Apple Maps is displayed in light mode in some vehicles and dark mode in some vehicles. I am trying to understand if there is any connection between Apple Maps and some day/night light sensor.

Yes, apparently there is, as noticed here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250701494


In the second link, they explain how to avoid this.

First link ... yes, it is the exact same issue I am talking about. Sorry I started a new thread ... search before posting didn't show that thread.

Second link ... setting to always dark doesn't work ... even though everything is dark, Apple Maps is in bright light mode.
