...maybe the interior panels were removed and they didn't reconnect the plugs to the luggage
compartment lamps... ?

 

During daylight my trunk lights remain off. When dark they turn on.

 

Good to know App

Hope this helps, these pictures are from the good to know app under interactive pictures

I too had this same wondering and remembered that it was one of the buttons from the bank of buttons with opening the sunroof so I clicked on that picture to get started.

 

Yep, that was it. I had inadvertently turned off ambient lighting. Everything is fine. Still working my way through the manual...

 

Good luck with learning your Macan by the manual. I've owned my S for three years now and I still learn new functions and little secrets about my Macan right here on the forum.

 

I've got a different though related problem. My trunk lights are awefully dim. I can hardly see what's in the trunk when these lights turn on. The light output is like those solar powered lawn lights that throw off what appears to be like 15 watts equivalent ... very very weak. Guess I need to take back to the dealer, but would love to know if anyone else has this same experience?

 

Call Suncoast and see if they have any LED replacement bulbs for the trunk, would be much brighter and whiter.

 

Thank you.

 

Digs: Have you already increased the light intensity via the Settings menu? I thought default was 50% and I increased mine to 80%. (or I could be wrong...)

 

Yes, I lowered this to my preference for the interior cabin lighting (which was way too bright for me,initially). I just played with the setting and even at 100%, it made zero impact on the trunk lighting brightness. It was worth a shot though. Thanks anyway!

 

Here is a link to an earlier thread. I put these LEDs everywhere, WAAAY more light output than stock, and zero issues.
