Exclamation B&O Lighting...

Is there a way to shut off the ambient lighting within the B&O speakers?
I did not see it in the cluster under lighting unless I may have missed it but if someone could let me know I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

We could swap my H&K for your B&O. Problem solved?

I could not find anything in the manual or online. Safe to assume at this point it cant be done or am I the only one who has ever wanted to shut the B&O light off?
Every other vehicle I have owned with B&O the lighting was optional. Not sure why this one it is not.

Why would you want to turn it off? I think it looks cool with it on.

Not my cup of tea and I prefer a very dark cabin with just bare essentials illuminated. One of my favorite features back in my SAAB days was the "Night Panel" feature. Everything went dark except the speedometer.

If you pop the tweeters out and take a look at the wiring, you will probably find dedicated wires for the led light. Looking at some ebay pictures it looks like there is a 3 pin connector going to a circuit board which is probably just for the lighting and the tweeters themselves have their own connection. You can probably disconnect the 3 wire connector or just to be safe de pin 1 of the wires and the light will turn off. Of course this might be too much hassle to turn off a small light but if it bothers you that much, not a difficult task. Also I highly doubt you will get any errors from the car if you do this.
