Hi,

Could someone tell me how to enable the ambient lighting, I understand that there are LED strips around the Dashboard and in front door cards.

With the headlights i cant see them.
Looking at the dashboard and the doors cards there is an LED strip its a white platic strip but does nothing.

This is a UK Evolve+ so it has Pro Pilot not Pro Pilot 2.0.
Could someone confirm UK RHD cars have LED lights fitted?

I have adjusted the brightness in the HUD menus! But cant see anything.

They're only on Evolve trim, you should have them, that upper LED strip isn't super bright but it's visible at night clearly. Here's a photo of mine:

Cosmyc,

Thanks or the pictures that looks like what I was expecting, this is a UK RHD Evolve+ car so would have expected the lighting around the dashboard and door cards.
I can see the LED strips inserted into the dashboard.

I will add to the list its booked in the garage away,

HUD refitted as rattles continually.
Passenger door mirror is lose on its mounting so wobbles
Camera errors majority of the time causing warning message saying "camera obstructed"
The ambient lights are not working

Door card need to come off for the mirror issue because the 3 retaining bolts are lose inside the door, so idea opportunity for them to check the LED strips.

I would guess these are all typical issues, unlikely to be an LED issue as none are working.

Cosmyc, Thanks again for the pictues, the LEDs I have are not as bright as that.

The LEDs are not visable during the day, even at night they are not what I call bright.
But good news they do work just not as bright as other Ambient lighting setups I have seen.

dDgging around in the menus I found a brightness setting for the Ambient lighting.
Check thats on the MAX setting.

Yeah I have them on the max setting and they're like subtle and soft at night and impossible to see during the day, it's like that.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could remind me how to adjust the ambient lighting. I dud it once but my son has turned it off messing around while I was shopping and I've been sat here the last 20 minutes getting more and more frustrated at not being able to or being able to find anything in the manual or online to help! Thanks in advance. Also the 5 buttons to the right of the steering whhel- 1 is the boot, what are the other 4? I've pressed them all 🤣

You can’t see the strip during the day it has to be very dark. I found the control to enable it in the end, it is quite subtle even at full power and just white not coloured, quite nice when driving through the night with the footwell lights as well, kind of calming

The adjustment is inside the driver's display, on the settings menu.
