 8 | ## `0x5F` MIB2 coding and adaptation
 9 | ### Enable interior illumination controls
10 | `0x5F` → `adaptation` → `Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2`:
11 | * → `menu_display_ambient_illumination` → `active`
12 | * → `menu_display_ambient_illumination_over_threshold_high` → `active`
13 | 
14 | ### Enable MIB `0x5F` communication with BCM `0x09`
15 | `0x5F` → `adaptation` → `Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2`:
16 | * → `Interieur light 0x08` → `activated`
17 | * → `Interieur light 0x08 msg bus` → `comfort data bus`
18 | 
19 | ### Review vehicle variant coding
20 | `0x5F` → `Long Coding` → Bytes `0-2`
21 | 
22 | My 2016 VW Golf had an issue with the background light submenu. To have it working I had to change the MU coding to facelift version of the vehicle.
