My two young daughters love riding in my car, and sometimes we go off at night and they'll fall asleep. When we get home, and I turn off the ignition, the white ceiling mounted lights turn on.

Is there a way to disable this so I can help keep them asleep? lol

Its aggravating because I turn off the ignition, and they come on. I press the central lighting button, on the ceiling mounted near the top lights, and all of the interior cabin lights turn off. Simple enough—except I open the door and they all turn back on.

Then as I go to open the rear door, they all turn back on and I have to double press the ones in the rear real quick to turn them off. With 2 doors in the back, its basically a comedy skit trying to keep the lights off!

Most "dumb" cars have a setting where you can disable them from turning on with a basic switch, like my minivan hahaha. This is exactly the time when I want to enable said switch

Press and hold the dome light (middle) button until they turn off. They should not come on again unless you manually turn them on......this used to be the Bmw procedure not sure if it still applies

I'll give this a try! Thanks!

Works great! I feel like I should go around and hold down other buttons to see what other hidden features I'm missing out on...
