Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

i recently drove my friends 01 C4 and we were completely baffled on how to make the interior center light come on when the car doesn't have the key in the ignition. seems to me that the light should come on when you open the car w/ the alarm fob, but lo and behold, it doesn't go on. further, when the key is in the ignition, the light goes on when the door is opened; without the key: no dice.
please tell me that the engineers in stutgart dropped the ball on this one. there must be a simple way to make it so that the light goes on automatically w/ the door w/o the key in the ignition.
any help is, of course, appreciated.

Something is wrong with your friend's lights. The lights should come on when you unlock the car with the remote or when you open door with key out of the ignition after shutting down motor. BTW, there are three 3-position rocker switches in overhead console for left, center, right overhead lamps - they should all be set in their center detent .
Agree with MKW. When the rocker switches are on the center detent position, the interior lights should go on when you open the door or unlock with the remote.
I believed the dealer may have dropped the ball, this time. If the car has not received the correct software in the key memory, your friends lights will not come on. This should be taken care of in PDI when the car comes in.
