I'm pretty sure that can't be turned off. Unless I've totally missed a setting. I tend to reach up and turn off the light manually when someone steps out :\

especially at night, when youre dropping your passenger off and want to stay discreet.

All you have to do is when the interior light comes on (door open) press and hold the on and off switch for about 3 to 4 secs and then let go after that the interior light won't come on again until you hit the on and off switch again.

I have that option in my I Drive Vehicle Settings Lights menu. I just don't select (Turn int. Lights on when a door is opened)

Ya I thought that was the case... I never looked into it cuz I like the lights to turn on. but my old 2003 "BMW" can be set just like that by holding down the button for couple seconds.
