Better late than never.
I've noticed this also with other apps. It seems an AA thing not a MRA specific thing. -

First time (mostly in the morning) nearly everytime it starts in night/dark mode. Other times during the same day it is the correct mode.
If available, the light sensor in AA Headunit should determine if night- or -daymode is required. Otherwise it should be the phone. -

Suddenly during bright daylight and no tunnels in sight it often changes to darkmode, sometime for hours. And then it suddenly changes back... -

Whenever I hit a tunnel both devices change mode at exactly the same time. That makes me believe it's the mode of the phone leading the way.
Today I used only Android Auto and when I hit a tunnel Android Auto changed mode so now I'm not shure anymore.
Maybe @Corjan-Meijerink can share his opinion on this. I bet he knows

The sensors of the AA headunit has the highest priority. The sensor of the phone comes next.
In my case (Goldwing 2018) everything is done by the Goldwing headunit because it has al the required sensors. The phone is only the source of the software and does the calculations. -

The MRA app does not use the phones light sensor at all. It uses knowledge in the map concerning tunnels and sunset/dawn information (most likely from the GPS signal).

MRA has three settings
Auto
Light
Dark."Light" and "Dark" are manual settings.
"Auto" is determined by the OS of your phone. In case of AA is it AA which determined with i.e the light sensor which theme (light of dark) is used.
so, MRA must provied the posibilty but the phone makes the choice
