Ambient lighting

I have a 17 35i and can't figure out how to turn of the ambient lighting. Is there a way or can it be coded so it only works when the headlights are on? I don't see a point in it being on when it's light out.

It's led so it shouldn't be an issue. You can turn down the brightness of it. But you can't turn it off. I have to say I don't notice it during the day.

It can be coded off in BDC_Body. You can also change colors.

I do not know of a way to link it to headlamps.

You can also dome button to disable cabin lights from turning on when door opens.
