Background lighting menu on MIB2

Have you tried resetting background lighting?

but 0254 is a very early software 
also it could be your central electronics module as it has to have a + on the end of the hardware description

Hi,
your mib is old version. it's not factory fitted with multi-color ambient light for golf back then.
set you car type in module 5F-Information Electr differently. i don't know which car is fitted with ambient light when your mib produced.
Mine is 2019 Touran. i have same issue like yours. so i change my car type to Arteon or tiguan then the picture showed.
also i DIY area view to my car. i have to set the car type to factory-fitted-area-view car like arteon, passat or tiguan, then the 3D pic will showed.

p.s. i am not english native speaker.

In 09 module
adaptation, interior lighting, parameter p_ambientelicht_verbauminformation_HMI > 11111111
adaptation interior lighting, parameter p_ambientelicht_verbauminformation_HMI2 > 11111111

Then when you change from colour to brightness (on the side of the slider) you get 2 cogs on the screen (one in the footwell and one on the door strips) that once you press will give you independent lighting

hi mr-fix, i also get the same result. The background lighting menu appear with only factory blue color. Even ive code the ambient light list for 10 color. Did you manage to get the solution ? If yes, appreciate your help with mine. 

Have you got the latest up to date obdeleven, as voiltas had to change the mask for me to get this working,

Silly question, you did type the 1’s in and click the green tick right?

While your at it post up the description under info

Interior light, light configuration: Ambientemenue mit alle Zonen: active To not active

You tried disconnecting the battery overnight? A reset

Normally setting zonen to not active puts the sliders back to lights and removes background lighting screen, but you should also enable the footwell switch so the slider comes up under lights,

Ok
Interior light, light configuration: Ambientemenue mit globalem aus: active

gives you a off button in background lighting to switch off door and footwell lighting





Interior light, light configuration: Ambientemenue mit alle Zonen: active

Adds the “background lighting” buttons in settings, and removes the footwell and door strip sliders from the lights menu




Interior light, light configuration: Ambient_Farbliste_HMI: active

gives you the colour slider at bottom of background lighting screen- needed



Interior light, light configuration: Frei_Farbwahl_ueber_HMI: active

Turns off the brightness slider in the background settings screen, so not active if you wanna dim the footwell door lights



Central electronics Interior lighting, parameter: p_ambientelicht_verbauinformation_HMI: 11111111 (default is 0, and this one is for footwell) p_ambientelicht_verbauinformation_HMI_2: 11111111 (default is 0, and this one is for the door)

These turn the cogs ⚙️ on to set the brightness

This lot just tells the car what LEDs you have (door srrips, speaker, centerconsole, sunroof, footwell etc)

Went to the car this morning and checked the head unit. 
It's been connected as normal; with the fuse back in, ignition off and car locked overnight, but even before switching anything on the bottom of the unit is hot to the touch.
Not as hot as when it's been running. I'm able to touch it. But hot nonetheless.
Wondering if there may be a problem in the unit itself?

Re. my footwell lights issue; I don't have the "Central electronics; Interior lighting, parameter:" option listed in the Adaptation menu at all.
I'm thinking maybe my BCM doesn't support "Background Lighting" functionality at all. Hardware number is 5Q0937086S.
But having said that, before retrofitting the MIB2 unit I had the original MIB1 Composition Media system; and that did provide the footwell lights slider in the "Lights: Interior Lighting" section with the same BCM.
For now I'm going to leave this for another time. I'm quite happy with the coded settings and don't really need the option to change them so easily.


 
   

Hi, and a Happy New Year to all.

On re-reading my last post I see I've created a bit of confusion.
What I was trying to say is that when I access the Central Electronics Module and open its Adaptation menu I don't get "Interior lighting, parameter" listed as a menu item.
All I get with regard to Interior Lighting is the three options in this screen grab below.

Regarding my power drain issue, I doubt it can be an installation problem because I did the installation in August 2021 and the system was working fine.
The power drain problem only started after a Roadside Assistance service gave the car a jump start in November, almost four months later.

I'm convinced they must have caused a voltage surge when they connected the jump leads, and that that surge has damaged a component somewhere on the car.
But the diagnostics aren't showing anything. The only thing I have been able to determine is that the parasitic drain falls away when I pull the infotainment system fuse (SC12).

What I'm trying to establish now is if: (a) The head unit itself has been damaged by a power surge (but is still working); or (b) The head unit isn't getting the right shutdown signal due to some damaged component elsewhere on the car (maybe an SSR); or (c) The head unit isn't getting the right shutdown signal due to coding having become corrupted somewhere in the system.

Right now it's looking increasingly as though the power supply circuitry in head unit itself is damaged, so I'm starting to look at sourcing a possible replacement.
My current unit is VW model 3Q0035874A, with MST2_EU_VW_ZR_P0254T firmware.
I have found a used SKODA unit with model designation 5Q0035874C and running 0472T firmware.
Can you confirm whether this 5Q0035874C unit could work as a replacement (assuming I can get the CP et-all sorted) and is it compatible with my 3G0919605D screen unit? 
And if this unit would work, how difficult is it to change the relevant coding from SKODA to VW?
 

Same problem. I bought a new MIB2. I cannot access the old lighting adjustment screen and have only an empty 'background lighting' screen. I have none of the adaptations listed above. Did anyone find an answer on this?
