My ambient lights always defaults to orange when I start the car

My ambient lights always go to orange when I start my car. I change it to blue and turn my car off and back on and it changed back to orange.
Has anyone seen this or know how to fix?

In the Drive Modes menu do you have ‘Auto Ambient Lighting Selection’ turned off?

To Expand on the above question, if you have auto ambient light turned on, the car will select the light color for you based on the drive mode. Orange for Unbridled. What color the other drive modes are, I wouldn’t know. ?
I you have auto ambient light selection turned off, it should remember our color for your profile. If it’s defaulting back to orange with auto turned off, it may be worth setting your chosen color then pushing and holding your seat position profile button until it beeps. I don’t know if it actually accomplishes anything but to my simple mind it’s telling the car to remember what settings I’ve made for this profile… and it can’t hurt.

I've tried to change mine to orange dozens of times, using the ambient light buttons, and following the instructions. My car defaults back to blue. I am in the SF Bay Area, and want Giants orange, not Dodger blue.

That was it. Thanks

I recall choosing this option not realizing it would override the other ambient light selection, but now there is no auto ambient to turn on or off...

I have a 2021 Premium...

I think it may have been moved to somewhere else in settings. Next time I’m in the car, I’ll look for it.

At least it shows you're in the right drive mode.

It's at the bottom of the General menu

The choice for different ambient light colors is there, but I need to find the "AUTO Ambient light selection," which overrides what you choose in the General Ambient light based on the drive mode, i.e., orange for Unbridled, blue for Engaged and teal/gray for Whisper

This is what it used to look like before the last Power Up update (4.1.2) and Sync 4A. I chose the auto option, and by the time I figured out I didn't want that, it was gone.

I looked and couldn’t find it, either. ?

Odd. Don't know if it's a '21 vs '22 thing.
