No longer have welcome lights (carpet, door handles, parking lights)
This evening i was in a dark parking lot when i noticed my welcome lights no longer work when i unlock with my fob like i used to. Just flashes turn signal and opens mirrors.
Only thing I've done recently is code some stuff on bimmercode but unsure what may triggered the exterior lighting. They don't even trigger when i open the door. Anyone have this issue? Or know if this is a symptom of any other coding? No updates to my factory software was made (oct 2018 build) |

Im not even sure how to retrive backups as the app on Android is shortly different. If this hasn't happened to anyone else, I guess one (tidious) way is to restore back to factory and perform each code and test to see which is the culprit |

Ive got a bit of slap in the forhead update.
After lots of failed attempts to isolate any coding that was linked... Turns out the lights are linked to the interior lighting switch that i had turned off (overhead lighting) Wish i can have separate control over the lighting. Thanks for all the help. |

I can confirm everything you say (April 2019 Canadian build, now on 11/2019.40 software). Two new things learned today:
- holding that main interior overhead light switch button for 3+ seconds turns off all interior lights; reasonably logical - and also turns off all exterior welcome lights (door flood lights, handles, and light carpet); completely illogical, yet true Maybe TurtleBoy can find us the manual pages that talk about that. Thanks!

Lol no anger, just thought something was broken. Still trying to figure a few things out, always a learning curve when changing brands.

Don't want to awake this topic again but did you guy check the Settings/Car/Exterior Lighting/Comfort Area?
My software version is 11/2019.55 and it I remember (sorry can't reach out to the car now to double check) but some comfort access settings especially the Welcome Carpet settings has some more items now. It allows you to have it on when unlocking the car or turn this feature off or turn the carpet lightning on when you turn of the engine and open the door in night. while i am going to check it physically later, here is a video that show that menu. |

Hi guys, when you open the door (2020 x3m) my head lights turn off. Is there anyway to keep them on automatically or is it normal? My handles and carpet lights stay on, but no head lights or breaks. I'm going crazy!
