Anyone know how to change when the seat badge illuminates?

Do you guys know how to have illuminated seat emblem permanently on or nightime only?
I think the one way is to code it on,must be for sure. When you engage reverse the logo light up!!
Other way is to connect the badge wire to the wire into the light armrest.
Please advise!!!!

Why do you want it to stay on permanently?

Sorry, I don't. I was just curious about your thoughts on it.

Do you want them to blink to match your turn indicators?

They already do - both are just there for decoration.

Sounds like a good way to kill your battery.

I’m pretty sure the OP meant always on when the car is on. I can’t see this draining the battery or affecting the charge system tbh.

I’m sure as more time passes and the coding community gets their hands on the specific parameters, this could be an option.
