R56 Here's the dopiest, least known most fun change fo '11
I haven't had any serious build/mechanical issues with either of our 1st-gen MINIs, but I'd have a hard time buying a new one until they bring back the equivalent of the Chrono Pack (i.e. real gauges for coolant temp, oil temp and oil pressure.) Spending time on things like variable mood lighting and the openometer seems silly until they have a decent engine-monitoring capability.

Ok, yes the continuous ambient lighting is cool... However, can I change it back to the single color of choice? I held the toggle switch for another 10 seconds and the continuous mode appears to be stuck on.
Thank you ahead of time for helping me switch it back...

I don't think you hold it to get it back to a single color. My MA showed it to me but I haven't touched it so I can't remember. But I thought she just hit it once to switch it again.

can I disable the single cycle?
The ambient lighting is really cool, and I think the constant cycle is a neat feature!! I have a 2012 MCS, and the lights go through 1 color cycle when I first open the door, and then stay on the solid color I've set during normal vehicle operation - is there a way anyone knows of to disable the single color cycle when you first open the door? Thanks!

I love the changing ambient lighting on my '11. And I plan to add some footwell lights based on a post that is on this forum somewhere, something about how-tos for girls... the gal added small LED strips up under the knee panels and I think that would be awesome!
Yes, gauges would be nice, for oil and coolant temps... but since they already had colored lighting, it was probably just a couple of minutes of programming to make them cycle. Whereas, adding an (admittedly needed) gauge takes a lot more effort. We need BOTH!!
