Default Dash color changes

I'm sure someone at JLR will read this.

When I go into dynamic mode, I want EVERYTHING to change from blue (teal) to red or whatever color I want selected from the unit.

...and selecting Stealth Mode should turn off all lights (exterior also) and enable night vision!

Yes, it's inexcusable that a car in this price range doesn't have night vision if you bought the vision package.

It was really disappointing to find out the true meaning of this "feature."

While I initially thought, in the words of Jeremy Clarkson [re] what you're referring to - "and you can choose what shade of mood lighting you'd like" - as pretty frivilous, I agree. I'd like all the lights to go red in Dynamic.

And, no offense, I'm pretty sure no one at JLR will be reading your or my post. (Or care).

I suspect th conversation went something like this.

Marketing: I have a great idea, what about if when we shift to dynamic all the light go red

Engineer: cool, I can do the dash but to do the doors will delay the project by two months and add £2M because we have already configured and ordered the door ECUs.

Finance: F*** that, you can have the dash and no more.

This is exactly what happened.

You forgot this part:

Marketing: Well can we at least do it for the Project 7 and forthcoming SVR?

Finance: Sure, those will be cash cows, with limited production. Go ahead and order the special parts for those and we'll adjust the pricing accordingly.
