Make sure the switch under the steering wheel is set to off '0' and If im not mistaken, theres an option for that somewhere in the idrive.

First of all you live in Canada , which if I'm mistaken would be illegal.
Second You can't do it in idrive since you have a Pre LCI car and it most likely was imported to Canada so that feature on a LCI car would not be available. If it was a USA original bought LCI car you brought back over ( MY 08+) it would be a simple few clicks in Idrive.

Now if you knew some one at a dealer, some settings could be changed with a GT-1, but as stated before I think that would be illegal in Canada ( laws could have changed now , I don't know any more , it's been like 8 year since I was north of the border).

As I recall, only LCI cars (2008 +) have the option to turn it off in the iDrive. 2007 and below need to go to the dealer and have them turn it off for you. There is no option in the iDrive for pre-LCI cars
Before you do get them turned off, get brighter AE's from John (brabusw209amg), that way you're still safe
