Hi,

Just bought my second 5 series which is a 530D MSport 2012. Came with a host of extras one of which is Ambient interior lighting. Is there a way of dimming or turning up the lights of the Ambient lighting on my model?

Thanks

I believe with the CIC it's only adjustable with the cluster dimming switch.

Ok cool. thank you for the response

yes that is correct. its not that bright on its brightest setting fyi.

Still looks good though and miles better than my previous 2010 520D without ambient lighting

Old thread I know. I had my car updated to the latest iStep version yesterday and noticed my ambient lighting is brighter in the doors. Before I had to have my gauge lights on full bright but I can finally turn the lights down and still see the ambient lighting on the doors. Cool.

Not much to share. I took my car to the dealership and for $225 they upgraded the entire cars software. It takes several hours but I definitely see and feel differences.

interesting, i didn't know you could do this as a paid for service.

The dealership upgraded my software last summer due to a few issues,

the main enhancement i noticed, was now when you turn on the heated steering wheel, you see a notification in the instrument cluster, instead of just the little yellow light on the side of the steering wheel...
