Dynamic Background Lighting

[WelshGolf]

Has anyone purchased the Dynamic Background Lighting from the shop? It sounds like a fun gimmick, but just wondering if it's any good? It's suppose to change the background lighting based on some actions such as if a door is open it will highlight that door in a different colour?

I had it for a few weeks as a free trial. Yes, total gimmick! The only thing I remember it doing is, if you switched on the hazards, the interior ambient lights also flashed on/off. Completely silly.

TBH, after messing about with the ambient lighting in the first few days of ownership, I settled on one setting (red) and never changed it since.

I think mine was set to yellow or something similarly crap when I picked the car up.
At the first set of traffic lights I stopped at I changed it to red and haven’t touched it since.

Is there anything of actual usefulness in the ‘shop’? I’ve never been interested enough to fire it up.
23 months in and I’m still ‘guest’ too 
What kind of substandard owner am I?!

Absolutely nothing interesting,because yours(like mine)is an early car,there is nothing for us in the shop other than data plans as we already have the stuff fitted for free(voice control etc).

Yeah same... there is nothing in it of interest. Its funny, as I've seen countless OTA software updates at this stage that mention "Shop" but I never see any difference in the shop. It has to be the least stocked shop in existence.

Thanks, I’m glad I’m not missing out on something exciting.
Just as well voice control was ‘free’ or I’d want a refund!

The shop is empty because you got all of the stuff enabled with the car... In the future, not so much

I have set up my background lighting, so that it displays Blue when I change the Driving Mode setting to Economy (which is very seldom!  ), Green for Normal driving, Red for Sports and Yellow for my personal settings. It means that I never need to check which Driving Mode is selected.

As for the Shop, I downloaded the App and activated my Amazon account to the car, which means I can ask Alexa to do various stuff, including playing my music requests, navigating and weather forecasts. I find it works well but, other than that, I've found nothing else useful in the Shop.

This is what I expected:) I too just set it to red and left it like that as anything else, with all the red accents on the interior, just looks odd

Mine is also set to red. Had a few days set to blue, but oddly it didnt feel right for some reason
