Ambient lighting problem?
So when I go first start my car for the day the ambient lights on the dash and door don't like to come on unless I force them, either by the settings or the climate control button. Must be some type of glitch, but has anyone had this issue and figured out a solution? Here is a quick video of my issue.

Reboot your command unit (press the on/off button on center console for 30+ sec to reboot the command). You may also disconnect the battery.

Where is the on/off button? I pushed the rotary knob down and the screen turned off...did it accidentally and thought I broke something. When I pushed it again everything turned back on. Is that the button you're referring to??
The ambient lights behind the screens are very dim, and all the ambient lights up front are dim, maybe around 40% even when turned up to the highest. Worst part is the lights in the overhead 3D speakers are super dim, maybe like 20% of max brightness, as compared to what the rear looks like and what I know from my other S-class.
I saw a post about a TSB for ambient lighting when the 64 color system was first released. Any way to check without going to the dealer?
