Ambient Light Failure

Welp…Updated to the latest Software (11/2023.47) and it bricked my Ambient Light Bar smh.

-I reset iDrive: No Resolution
-I Toggled the Ambient Light Settings: No Resolution
-Locked and Restarted the Car: No resolution.

Looks like I’m going to have to take it to the dealer for a “quick” reprogram session. Unless someone has another tip I can try before then. My Luck ….

*UPDATE*

After giving it a couple of hours, I came back to the car and unlocked it, the error showed up again for a split second, then vanished. Then the lightbar came back on. So I’m guessing the error cleared itself.
Good to know for Future Updates.

*Resolved*

Glad it came back. After the last OTA update I had in my iX....for about a day or so my steering wheel and seat stopped going up and down for easy ingress/egress. Then all of sudden....it came back.

My Jaguar I-Pace after OTA....rear camera and PDC sensors inactive for a day :-O

OTA, outside of Tesla is not my fav thing!

Just did my OTA and exact same thing happened. Will see if it fixes itself when I go for a drive tomorrow.

…and mine’s restored now after 30mins. I also updated with the welcome light subscription (took me a while to work out what it was) and I noticed that the ambient lighting seems to put on more of a “show” when I get in the car now. Or perhaps it always did that and I didn’t notice. Either way, back to normal.

Dropped the dough for the Welcome lighting and the Parking pro pack 1 time payment. Find out I need a newer phone to make the auto park work now . Still happy with the extras and will get a new phone soon.

Jesus Christ. You're the reason why BMW wanted heated seats as a subscription option. Just you wait. The G60 LCI (or what comes after) will have a base price that is $5K higher and will be advertised as "the most flexible car to buy ever" because everything will be a subscription.

Note that there's a footnote on DAP Pro that it's only available temporarily for 10 years. I guarantee they're planning to charge subscription money for it in the near future.

Parking pro was 220 and lightning 50. They are both 1 time payments just like clicking an option box on your build sheet.
