F15 interior ambient lighting
On 2015 F15 35i, how does your ambient lighting looks? Does it light up just on the dash board line? or does it also light up the door open knob area and door storage bin on all 4 doors?
Mine has no light whatsoever on all doors. Only the dash board and the driver and passenger seat back. Anybody can chime in for comparison? Thanks |

Unusual. I've got the 2014 model and the ambient lighting works fine; on the dash board, doors, the bottom and the rear seats. I'd suggest you take it in for a check.
Take a couple of pictures if it's possible. Last edited by HMN; 09-10-2014 at 06:03 AM.. |

Check that it is on.
1. "Settings" 2. "Lighting" 3. "Lighting design" 4. Select the desired setting. To activate the ambient light: "ON". You can then set it up with a combination of orange/white/blue fro top, mid doors and the floor. If your settings are correct, see the advice of Hamad Nasser. |

Ambient lighting works for all 4 doors, dashboard, in front of driver and passenger seats near the foot pedal and also at back.
I got mine with white color which is not at all visible. Try changing your color. |

Also, try the dim/bright setting.

Trust me you want them to fix it. Do not worry about them opening panels. I had a faulty rear curtain when I went for the handover and whilst like you I hated the idea of removing the panel it was fitted back factory fresh.
In any case I feel that maybe you have a shorted fuse which is easily solved. I am not at all an expert - just guessing. Either way get it sorted as you need to drive at night with the blue light on which feels divine )) |

I found this from this thread http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e63...ers-door.html: "This happened to me, the dealer reinstalled the led upside down. No need to remove the door panel. Remove the window switch panel, then with a pair of tweezers pull the led light towards you, there is just enough cable so it allows you to turn the connector and led round 180 degrees, gently push back in to locate. Take note don't push led back in too hasty other wise it will fall behind the door panel and you will then have to remove that to rectify. Cheers"

Thanks to Opasha's last post, I started checking the LED connections. The driver foot well light was off and was the easiest to pull out, as soon as I pushed the LED connector in, it snapped in place with a loud click and all 4 doors ambient lights came on. Problem solved. Thanks again Opasha, and thank you all for trying to help. I was right when I said ( somebody at BMW did NOT do his/her job right, car was made on a Sunday).

Hi all,
I just received my new X5 50i and wanted to ask a question about the ambient lighting. Mine seems to work perfectly in orange and blue, the dash and door strips light up. However when I select white at the top, only the dash lights up, the strips on the front and back doors remain off. As I said, for orange and blue, all the strips light up. I'm wondering if this is a fault or if it meant to be that way. I asked the dealer and he had no idea but is going to check since the car is in to have a small bump removed that the delivery truck made. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Dimitri |

I'm waiting to get the car back today but from what they told me they haven't figured it out yet. I was thinking maybe it was a programming issue but i'll post back once I get an update. |
