Now...need to find out which ones really make it happen @shawnsheridan @skalberti -- any thoughts on what to change to make the ambient lighting to turn off automatically during daylight? or if it is even possible?

I google translated almost all of this. The last ones in Ambiente are as follows:

1) Ambient Number Lin Layer - 3 layer
2) Ambient Color Travel Ready - H-Color: I assume when you put the car into Drive or Reverse, the ambient color of the 3 (blue, orange, white) is illuminated
3) Ambient Color Travel Not Ready - H-Color: I assume this is when the car is in Park or Neutral, the color is displayed - so kind of interesting/weird - maybe you can set the car to be orange when sitting still, and blue when you're moving - kind of pointless and probably would kill more energy, lol
4) Ambient Mode - RGB Layering - self-explanatory - don't know what options are in there to mess around with it - maybe there's some hacking here where we can get colors other than blue, orange and white?!
5) Ambient Tracking - This one seems to deal with brightness. I found this from an F20 PDF: brightness setting of ambient light independent from brightness of instrument cluster;left as it is as it was already active; can be
adjusted via settings/light incontrol display . So what I guess is, if you have it set to nicht aktiv - then you can control the brightness of the Ambient Lighting with the little brightness wheel to the left the steering wheel that makes all the interior lighting dim or bright.

I guess if you really want to save energy, you just have to manually roll the wheel all the way down during the day time.
