2017 Explorer Limited…
Changed to the Lincoln Next theme last night and now my ambient lighting doesn’t match the color I select. For instance, if I select green, the lighting turns purple. I think the lighting colors match the OEM theme buttons, but the Licoln theme buttons are different. Any way to fix this?
Secondly, probably not related, but I enabled the compass and climate controls on the IPC. Now the clock on the IPC is an hour behind the clock on the Sync 3! Weird…
Thanks for any info you guys could provide!

Dang, You must know someone high up at Ford.

I have a theory of what might be happening as the signal for the lights originate in the BCM. I won’t say because I don’t know for sure.

Quick update…changing the theme back to Ford default makes the lighting match the button. Is there a way to keep the Lincoln theme and have correct color buttons?
The clock fixed itself. I think it may have synced to the GPS on the next drive cycle and the time displayed on the Sync screen was being displayed from Android Auto.

I think there is a setting in the BCM that needs to align with the APIM. Look in there.

I think you’re right. Just gotta figure out which one!

There was a bit about changing colors to make a Fusion run full Lincoln colors over on 2gfusions.net a while back.
