Interior light settings

Is there any setting to have the interior lights turn on as soon as the engine is turned off? I feel like the car use to do that then stopped, maybe a setting got changed. It's definitely something that would be useful to me and any help would be appreciated.

Your car still does it. You just forgot to open the door.

Only option I know of is the delayed interior light. So when you lock the car, your lights stays on for xx seconds.

That sucks, to me when its dark out I'd like to be able to see where stuff is at before leaving the car w/o having to manually turn the lights on every time.

Now i have the non start button, but when i take out the key the interior lights turn on. But i belive it did the same in my previous w205 with start button, exactly when and how i dont remeber. If you try and start with the key by pulling out the start button and insert the key, what happens then?

When using the key slot the interior lights turn on as soon as the key is removed. Is there something that broke when using the push start with mine? I feel like the lights should come on as soon as the engine is stopped.

Maybe since the push to start button stays in place = no lights. (I can check mine)

I disabled the "lights on when door opens" feature because I am gangster and don't want the ops seeing me from a distance.

I keep a flashlight next to my Hk.
