PIC REQUEST: What does ambient maplight feature look like?
Does anyone have pictures of the changing maplight colors feature on their auto dimming mirror? Although I hear it's useless, I also hear it's still pretty neat to look at. Just havn't been able to find one at the dealership to take a look since they're always sold =P. If someone can post of pictures that I could see or even a 10sec vid, that would be awesome. Thanks!

I guess I'll answer MY OWN question.
There's three lights on the maplight, Yellow, Blue, and White.
When they mentioned it was "ambient," I thought they would fade between each other.
In reality, the colors are just switched. So, it shows yellow for like 4 Seconds, Blue for 4 Seconds, and then White for 4 Seconds. I thought it was cool at first cause you have changing colors but it's only really noticable when you're not on the streets because the lights will drown it out. I personally don't use mine much. You also can't see it from outside because the lights are directly below the mirror, so it only shows below.

I don't know about yours...
but mine is Orange (some say amber) this is the same color like the dash.
Then there is Blue
Then there is White.
Yeah... I acutally played with it tonight and it does change... *hehe*
Yeah... you can make it stop and stay on one close if you like.

Also, could you take a pic?

Instructions are something like:
First press - White (map light)
Hold for 3 seconds - Amber
Hold for 3 seconds - Blue
Hold for 3 seconds - White
Hold for 3 seconds - Cycle between amber, blue and white
Hold for 3 seconds - off
Someone may need to correct it. So to cycle, you actually gotta hold it down for a while and then just leave it.
