Door activated courtesy lights

I bought a 2007 Kia Sorrento 3.3 4 weeks ago.

I have had quite a few issues, not with the car, but with the dealer.

The one thing unresolved is. I had the roof DVD fitted as part of the deal. When I received the car back, the courtesy lights built into the DVD unit will not work off the doors, only off the built in switch. The boot/trunk light is now the same.

When I spoke to the dealer, he said that was how it is supposed to be.

I just can't believe that and the DVD handbook clearly states that the doors should activate the interior lights.

Can you advise what is the true story?

Thanks

Just an update on this.

In frustration I removed the DVD unit and found a wire that had been pinched and broken during installation.

The wire was repaired and the lights now work fom the door switches exactly as specified

Product is great, but some dealerships very suspect.

I'll delete the post shortly
