Turn off LED corona rings when parked / idling?

Hey Guys,

Are you aware of a way to do this? I'd like to be able to turn off the corona rings when the vehicle is in park ore has the park brake engaged. It'd be nice if you could idle the vehicle without having the corona rings on, lets say late at night or in the early am. As you know, they rather bright...and on my dark street they light up the entire front of my house. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I can only think of one reason when you would need the corona lights off while idling in your car... ;-)
You can turn it off on iDrive but you will have to turn it on and off every time. I believe there should be a coding modification for that.

I'll take a look in iDrive. If anyone can chime in on the coding, that would be great. Thanks!

I don't think this is possible ... I have combed through the lines of code in the BDC_BODY module and don't see any mapping for parking brake state for the angel eyes

I do believe you can turn these off in settings through iDrive. I seem to recall seeing that.

I took a look this morning, no such setting, at least in my vehicle. Perhaps I have to code it to RoW lighting?
