Extend interior light time out

[Alster]

Hi. I’ve done a search for this but can’t seem to find the answer- I’ve got a 2021 6.1 with factory led interior lights and would like to extend the time out. At the moment if I switch them on they go out after about 10 minutes and I would like to extend this to about 60 mins if possible. Could this be done with carista ?? Thanks Alan

It can be done with coding up to about 2 hours.

See details in @Dellmassive thread on lighting here:

LED Interior Cargo Lights - How I Done It.

LED rear interior lights - How i done it. so a few have asked, so i though i would just list it here as a post so i could refer back to it in the future. The lights were purchased from The T6F shop over here > We were planning to do the carpeting at around the same time, but for the purpose...

@roadtripper Thanks. I did read this but wasn’t sure if it applied to a 6.1

@mmi @Robert - any idea if we have any data on the T6.1 rear cargo light time out on the BCM?

I don't know yet either, intend to do it but on the list of things.

There may be some clues on the Ross Tech forums (makers of VCDS)

T6.1 BCM has no coding - everything is done via adaptations - so T6 instructions do not work.
Yes, we have some data of T6.1 BCM's. Not sure if anyone has tweaked interior lighting settings.
In the adaptations there are at least 30 channels which relate to interior lights...

That's frustrating as I'd hoped to update the length of time.

I'd offer to help but currently only have the mid level OBD11 available.

Thanks for the input guys-doesn’t look like it’s going to be easy to do. I might think about adding a couple of lights with a separate feed instead.

has anyone solved this? im looking to increase the interior light time on a 2024 t6.1

I'm still hoping someone can find a way on the 6.1 too. Still no VCDS to help.
