Dome light toggle?

Is there such a thing? And I don't mean the directed lights, I mean the overall dome light, such as if you're in the driver's seat, and looking for something in the back seat.

I've not yet been able to figure out how to turn that light on, except for unlocking the doors with the remote with the car off, or opening the car door otherwise.

Did I miss something? I'm thinking there's not a toggle, because on most cars it's usually on the dimmer, and the Mini's dimmer doesn't seem to allow that function.

Just push the main dome light button...it will stay on as long as you do not open your door or lock or unlock your doors or close your doors...etc

I have a button right in the middle of the dome light.

The button is in the front center of the dome light, IIRC.

I feel like a tard. Don't know how I could have missed it, if it is indeed right in the center. And I have looked more than once.
