When you unlock the car, it is possible to set the front and rear lights to come on as I understand. Is it possible to adjust the time setting for these lights to stay on??

I know you can adjust the time on the 'welcome home lights', ( The ones that come on when you flash the lights before you exit the car), but I cant seem to find any adjustment for the unlocking lights.

Does anyone if this is at all possible? Thanks.

How is this done? Is it only on the LCI models?

Can somebody tell me how this works, I can see the adjustments in my Idrive for the welcome lights, but I dont see any lights when I exit the car or any change when I change the time in the Idrive ?

Please help me, I need to know this little things

I thought in the "I" menu under settings on the lci's you could turn them off or adjust them to a couple different time settings like 45 sec, 90, and 120...

I may be wrong though

Is the welcome lights option available on non-LCI's? With a software upgrade perhaps?

...
Unfortunately, the "welcome home" lights don't function. I've gone through the menu a bunch of times, trying different intervals, but the lights don't stay on at all. As soon as I turn the car off, they go off. And as soon as I open the door, the angle eyes go off. Then again, I'm probably thinking of the "pathway lighting." In either case, it doesn't work for me.
