White 'Highway' strip lights in door panels
 

Morning all,

Long time lurker, first time poster so I hope somebody can give me some help with this small problem I've had for a while now.

Under the 'background lighting' section on the MMI, there is a 'highway' setting (along with city, cockpit and rear) which switches on strip lights in all four door panels. My passenger's side door light has not been working for a while now but all 3 other doors are.

Its just annoying more than anything as my eyes keep getting drawn to it and I wonder if it can be fixed easily. I quite like the ambient glow on a dark motorway run!


Hope somebody can help! Many thanks :love:

If I haven't explained it very well, here is where they are located...

Oh, I always wondered what that setting was, I will try it tonight.
Sorry I can't help more.

Crikey, you're not missing much! I had to hold a white receipt there to see it.

you can also brighten and dim it :D:

same thing happened to mine, passenger side sto[ed working , by the time i decided to do something about it , it started working again so not much help to you.

My rear passenger side recently stopped working, but not sure when I'll get round to looking. From memory whenI had a door panel off in my PF D3, they're a single LED that lights up the strip, so it's either gone or worked loose.

I read it's controlled by roof control module. It may be worth checking that for errors or running output tests, but it will probably not help, just say open/short circuit.

Same problem
 

Hi,
I also have the strip light out, and strangely enough also on the front passenger door. Did you ever get yours fixed!
Thanks,

mine also went on the passenger door for about 2 months, then started working again before i had time to look at it, strange so many are having the problem with the same door

Strip Light
 

Just n update, my strip light is being replaced by Audi under warranty. The extended warranty clearly states that it doesn't cover bulbs of any type. This makes me wonder if its a known issue as all seem to be the front passenger door that fails. However the technician (mechanic) did say they would be replacing the "unit". I will try and find out what the repair involves..
Thanks
Mark
