Welcome Light problem

Like the title says, I have a problem with my lighting when I unlock the car....Before I was able to hit the unlock button on my transmittor and the interior lighting will turn on, door courtesy light, angel eyes and license plate will turn on.....i didnt drive my car for a month, after that i am out of battery, after i charge the battery.everything is fine, but when i hit the unlock button only the interior lights and the door courtesy lights will turn on...the angel eyes and license plate will not luminate....has anyone had this problem.....if so what did you guys do ....did i hit something that caused the lighting to not turn on?

It's one of the settings you set on the remote through settings menu. Which way to do it depends on if you have Idrive or not. It probably defaulted to going back to no exterior lights flashing.

I know this is an old one... But i have almost the identical problem.... Didnt drive the car for a while and the battery went low, now the halo and licence plate lights wont go on when unlocking the car....?
I have checked the settings and have turned the welcome light off and then back on.... And still nothing...?

I have had a sunroof issue before and they said they had to do a reset.. So is therena way to do a reset without going to the dealer?

Probably the default is off and gets changed before delivery, power loss = reset to default. The dealer can probably switch it back easily enough.
