F30 instrument cluster color mode

[reneshs]

Hi,

As many may have noticed, the instrument cluster on the F30 changes color from white during the day to orange at night. I prefer the day setting and would like to know if anyone can assist in keeping the daytime setting (the white font) at night.

I read that it requires a code change:
KOMBI-->3007 KI_Dimmung, 24-->DIM_NACHT_EIN-->Werte=FF

The default value is Werte=0A. This hexadecimal value relates to the sensitivity of the sensor that determines the threshold at which the display changes into its nighttime mode. When set to “FF” it stays on the daytime mode constantly.

Can anyone help to make the change as I don't have the OBD connector or software.

I also prefer the white and would like to know how to do this as well. I read somewhere that BMW chose orange for night as it puts least strain on the eye

Wont your auto lights have an issue as it does not read between day and night??
