Individually controlling ambient lighting on 19s?

Is there some setting that allow for control of separate parts of the 64 color ambient lights? ie. door and center one color and footwells another? I thought I had seen it on Mr. AMGs's review, but it might have very well been on a different MB...

You can control the front portion of the cabin (doors, footwells, center console) separately from the back (rear doors) in terms of brightness, but you can't have different colors for the front vs rear, and you can't control the individual sections in brightness or color. It would be nice if you could at least make the footwells controllable separate from everything else, but no such luck.

Thanks.. That is what I was guessing.

Ive seen all his vids and you're probably thinking of the A Class where you can individually change the colours of different parts of the interior.

Speaking of ambient lighting, has anyone figured out what "car flash" or "colormix" is on the settings? I don't see it flashing or mixing the colors or anything.

Which vehicle is that screen from? I know my screen for ambient looks nothing like that.

My guess would be the S class facelift judging by the vents/dash.

Similarly on this topic, but not specific-- Does anyone know what the Ambient Light changing to Red, flashing, then changing back to its set color means when you are sitting in the car with the engine off for a bit?

LOL. I bet that flashing red light would freak someone out in that situation. I was in my garage when I noticed it, so I would have gone inside if I did that... if I did that. ha

Not even a vape is getting discharge in this thing. I drive with the windows down if I pick up food during sub 0 weather! haha

I've got to admit, I've sat in my car for long periods of time, making and access adjustments, etc. Never once have I seen that flashing red light you spoke of. That would freak me out in the mode of "danger, danger, Will Robinson."
