The lighting prefernces are programmed onto your fob which is why the second fob doesnt have the same settings, however the car should recognise your fob straight away and revert to your settings.I'd be interested in knowing too. I have the piano black accents with no LED trim like that.
And not to hijack the thread, but I have a question about the LED mood light around the center display. When I use my fob, I get my beautiful violet ring which only changes if I adjust the radio volume or the temperature. When done, the violet reappears.
If my wife borrows the car and uses the other fob (I know, that might be the problem in the first place) the violet goes away and the center display just displays the white on the left and reddish orange on the right. Nothing will make the violet come back even if I start it with my fob, until I've parked the car at work for 8 hours. Then my violet comes back.
I've searched through the user manual and can't find any description of this behavior and toggling the mood light switch by the mirror only changes the colors in the door handles. No effect on the center display.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Would I select the basic or event setting? Those were the only two options that I saw under that option.The lighting prefernces are programmed onto your fob which is why the second fob doesnt have the same settings, however the car should recognise your fob straight away and revert to your settings.
To programme the centre ring between Active and Ambient lighting you need tovuse the menu in the central display, under car settings you should be able to find this option
Had I configured one instead of buying off the showroom floor, I would have definitely gotten it. But it would be nice to know if it's something that can be added to an existing car.I confess I wish I had known how to get the light piping around the trim back when I ordered. I just didn't understand how that worked enough to ask at the time. No regrets, but I'd like to have those... but I saved some money so I suppose it works out.
