Locator light
Does anyone know why my locator lights in settings shut off by themselves every once in a while? Thanks.

In MENU, go to SETTING, click Lights, and under Digital Light, on right side, you see the option to turn on the Locator/Person Button. It does go off sometimes. Not sure why it resets to off.

I guess that’s possible. But all my other options always stay as is.

thanks. I have those on. I know under that same setting there’s a ‘spotlight’ setting which I know shuts off every time cars shuts off. I don’t recall seeing a ‘locator/person’ button. Don’t know what that has to do with digital lights?

Maybe a bug in the mbux software. Mine does the same turns off by itself. Same with lights around the door handles. Those almost never work.

The pedestrian spot light often changes to disabled for me, but not every time. The locator light always stayed enabled, but I just checked it and it was disabled and the spot light was enabled. Go figure. I don't think it's a profile sync issue, but I can't rule that out either. All my other settings are remembered.

Sometimes it’s just nice to get into my 2009 Chevy pickup truck that does what I tell it to do with buttons and switches and no computers to get in the way.

I guess either intended or a glitch like mentioned.
