Default Background lighting

I notice that when i set my background lighting to city mode, I loose my antiglare function, but it works fine for all other modes(the anti glare side and rear view mirrors that is), do any of you have similar situations?

That is the way is was designed to work. Thus I never use city mode.

damn thats weird, i really like the soft overhead glow on the dash from the console lights, wished Audi allowed more customization for interior lighting.

What do you guys usually leave it as? Highway? thats my 2nd fav.

Default I set it for City and use the button in the o/h console to switch the ..

background off if bright lights in the mirrors gets bothersome. The switch not only switches off the mood lighting but reactivates the dimming function. When conditions allow, I reactivate the background by pressing the swich again - simple.
This way I get the customization I like and get dimming when I need it.
