Can anyone confirm that, after coding for matrix functionality, the parking lights are on whenever the car is in automatic headlight mode, even in bright sunshine when the main headlights aren’t activated? That doesn’t seem like typical behavior for US lights, but it’s what I’m experiencing now that the matrix lights are coded.

@jperlinsky how bright is the light bar when it’s on during the daytime? Is it much brighter than at night? I am trying to see if this is a new operating mode or if it’s just the night time mode staying on all the time.
I actually really like the light bar and wouldn’t mind if it were on during the day, provided that it’s sufficiently bright

@718socal it still doesn’t allow me to send messages. Can you send me a message so I can get in touch with you?

Hopefully this is a reasonable thread to ask this question. I didn't want to start another one, but I suppose I could 
...
I'm curious to know if anyone has had their HD matrix light coding undone at a service appt. I haven't seen a post about this so I'm thinking it hasn't happened to anyone here which probably means it's unlikely. I'm guessing that there are various subsystems in the car and if Porsche needs to apply a software fix for something in one subsystem, it probably doesn't affect others.
Note that I'm not asking for anyone's opinion on whether one should avoid enabling these lights because of some risk of the config being overwritten. All I'm asking is if someone knows that it has happened.

Do you have to drive it at night and observe the light beams or is there an easier way to check?
Thanks
