See Post #225 .
So i tested this on my Ex Sport 2015 in this order. If it doesn't work for you, perhaps you need to visit the dealer. My Ambient feature was turned on so this is what i did:
1. Unlocked my car with the Door Handle sensor. Ambient light turned on to its default light blue color. Once the MFT booted up, the color changed to Red (my setting).
2. Started my car and went in to the settings on the MFT and switched off the Ambient lighting. The cupholder, door locks and pedestal lighting turned off.
3. Press the Push Button to turn off my car. The default Blue lighting came on again.
4. Locked my car with the door sensor and walked away for 5 mins.
5. Unlocked my car with door sensor. Ambient lighting with default light blue color came on.
6. Started my car and the Ambient lighting went off and stayed that way, until i turned off my car and opened the door to exit. That is when the default color light came on.
I think the default light blue light goes off only when MFT is booted up since the ambient color features are controlled by MFT. And by the way my brightness feature works just fine. The moving of that electronic slider is certainly choppy but it does work for me.
Wonder if it's gonna reset when your MFT reboots.
Nope, it didn't reset and stayed in the condition i left. Is your resetting?
I meant the full "performing scheduled system maintenance" reboot that's done intermittently when the system is off. This also resets your ambient lighting back to the default light blue. Which was fixed with a recent TSB and possibly by v3.7.
Thanks for merging. I am on the latest version of sync and the 911 issue is still there.Have you had the Ambient Lighting TSB done?

Your thread has been merged with this existing one.
There is also a thread on the 911 issue. The members say it was fixed with V3.6.2.

Thanks for merging. I am on the latest version of sync and the 911 issue is still there.
Using the Forum's 'search' program I found several threads on this issue. I chose to merge your thread with this existing one. Have you had the TSB done for the ambient lighting?I keep my ambient lighting set to the royal blue. Well, every few days it changes itself back to the factory aqua color. I have brought this up when I have brought my Sport in for service and of course they can't find anything. Has anyone had this issue?
I was on mobile when I posted this and did a quick search prior and the last thing I saw was in 13. Sorry. Also, I clicked on that link you posted and it is one response. I can figure it out thanks.
So I hate the ambient lighting. I think its a little cheesy so I turn it off. Every now and then it will turn itself on when I randomly get in the car. I turn it off and in every few starts it will just come on. I thought by turning it off it would stay off. Am I doing something wrong?
Are you running 3.6.2 on MFT? If so update it to the latest.
