Day time only view in Dash?

I love the white morning day time view of my dash... I don't like it when it goes into orange. Doesn't have that premium look, I know it's a BMW thing but just wondering if there is a way to code it to stay in day time mode all the time. Just to clarify, I'm not talking about the Nav Display... I'm talking about the dashboard display right behind the steering wheel.

Found this in bimmercode app... do you think this is what I need? I want the instrument to stay white (in day mode) all the time

Ambient brightness decoupling from instrument

The interior ambient lighting is the lighting found surrounding the doors and other interior locations around the car (see pic below) seen at night when the headlights are turned on. The coding pic you posted is for decoupling (separating) its adjustment from the controls that adjust the instrument cluster lighting....thus allowing you to increase/decrease the ambient lighting while maintaining the instrument cluster lighting at its own setting.

You might want to check the coding thread, I am pretty sure it is possible for the 6WA cluster.

I have checked the coding thread and cheatsheet.. not seeing anything about keeping the 6WA in White (Day light) mode all the time.

They were in the cheat sheet for sure, this guy was talking about it here, but I guess it was removed for some reason (or didn't work) :
