How do I change ambient lighting on My 2013 Mustang v6?
I just bought the mustang V6 (base I guess, i don't see any denominations in my owner's manual such as GT, premium, etc), and it does have this ambient lighting in the wells, doorsills, etc. But I cannot find the button to change the color anywhere??
I saw pictures online where under the **** that turns to the right to turn on the headlights, ther are three buttons in a horizontal row. Mine doesn't have that.
All I have is the button that clicks to the right to turn on the headlights (it turns twice for 2 different light settings), and the dimming wheel for the dashboard light to get brighter.
if you send me an email at gg2552@columbia.edu I can show you pics of the front of the car so you can see what buttons I have there i took a few pics.

Press setup....when it comes up with ambient lighting turn it on by pressing reset. Press setup to continue to cycle through until you get to color selection after the dimming option....reset again cycles through the options in that list....
I didn't think the Base car came with ambient lighting. I could obviously be wrong.

I must have a premium then because the seats are definitely leather.
But there is no button that you speak off for setup.
I uploaded pictures on my profile, you can click on my username and click on the album to the right of my profile...
see the stuff on the left of my steering wheel?
a black one that has those 3 diagrams next to it to turn the headlights, and the dimming wheel for dimming/brightening the dashboard...
no buttons... ???

Use the D pad buttons on the left spoke of the steering wheel. It is the square button with the up/down/left/right arrows and the center button.
Scroll around and you will see the options for My Color in the LCD screen between the speedometer and the tach. I don't recall the exact sequence, but it is in there.

The display should read something like
Gauge Mode
Trip A / B
x
x
Settings
Use the arrows to scroll down to settings and press OK. At that point the options are pretty intuitive.
