hello dear members, i need your help. I have a w213 and 3 days ago the ambient lighting of the center console (passenger side) stopped giving the correct color. When I open the car the color is red, green or blue (the three RGB colors) and when I start the car the light turns off on that side. I've removed the fuse for the ambient lighting but it's still the same. what could it be and how to fix it? thanks

If I understand you question, you want to know how to get the same color throughout the car. FYI, when I change the dash design, my colors change from red to multicolor, similar to your picture.
To correct this, this is what I do:
Press the home button on the steering wheel
scroll to Vehicle and open
scroll to Light Settings and open
scroll to ambient light and open
Uncheck Multi-color
When you uncheck multi-color you can set the color and intensity for the Display, Front and rear. Each area can have its own color and intensity.
Here is a fun fact, which my grandchildren love: I have set Display, Front and Rear at color red: when you press the heat to get warmer the red gets bright red for a few seconds. If you lower the temperature the color gets dark violet for a few seconds: My grandchildren love it when I change the temperature: they call my E450 the "Party Car!"
Let us know if this helps. If you are confused I can post pictures of each step.
