Disable dome lights when entering?
Is there a way to disable to dome lights when entering/unlocking the car? I find them to be just a bit bright and overpower the ambient lighting
I'm sure this can be done with some sort of coding but just checking to see if anyone has found an easier way |

I’m assuming by ‘dome lights’ (not a term we use in the U.K.) you are referring to the interior lights then this is from the manual which may help.

Note that when you switch them off permanently my welcome light carpet and door handle lights also switched off.
They were still set to on in the iDrive settings. Only way I got them back was turning the dome lights back on |

Well that's a huge bummer. The dome lights are just way too bright and overpowering. Wondering if there is any sort of work-around

Ok just to report back..
I have a US Spec M340i and it looks like I'm in the same boat where permanently disabling the dome lights will also disable the door handle lights and light carpet |

In my ex-A4, the interior light switch only turned off the inside dome lights. Not the exterior handle lights. Also, the dome lights were touch sensitive AND the brightness could be adjusted by touching it. I would’ve loved it if BMW brought that tech to the G20 as well but yea.
