NEW Carbon Fiber Ambient Light Kit | How to install on 2008-2016 Audi A4/S4 (B8 and B8.5)

[@lonesomedrop]

As someone who bought/installed the Ambient Light Kit and the face-lift android auto screen. I highly recommend getting in contact with the dmpcardesign customer support if you get stuck. They are great and helped get volume on my android screen and the lights to turn on in my car for the kit. Once agian don't be afraid to ask them questions!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Exactly! I’ve been preaching that but people just don’t believe me. That’s the perks of spending a little more and buying from them and not some random reseller online who offers no support, no warranties, and sometimes no returns. And the products aren’t exactly the same as DMP, even though they might “look” the same. DMP always has the latest and greatest versions of most aftermarket products. And dmp can provide tech support to people on a global scale. They know installs on different versions of the same car from different parts of the world.

Sweet!! Not over the edge and not ricey!!! Keeps it classy. Great step-by-step instructions too.

[@tylercouture216]

i did this on my e60 m5 and its the best retro fitted upgrade ever

[@BrianMcCabe-s5k]

Anytime I search 2015 A4 you’re the man that always pops up. Great vids man and love your build, you’ve done a little bit of everything

[@TheFlexxGarage]

That’s awesome to hear. I still have a bunch left to do. Just trying to get better from being sick and waiting for this cold ass weather to leave Massachusetts so I can start modding again. 😎🤙🏼

[@markjohnson2079]

look really sharp man (Personally I'm not a fan of the "S-line" dash trim - but the rest of the lights loook great!) great video man - everyone who has to do this will appreciate the level of detail.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

It was free for me so what they hey…I’ll install it. Lol. Maybe in the future I’ll get a different piece for the dash.

[@joea1746]

Nicely done for all those Audi A4 S-Line owners. 👍

[@semird615]

This was such a enjoyable yet anxiety inducing watch. It seems simple enough but I’d probably get everything wrong somehow, it’s definitely worth the effort though.

Brother so far no one done this job in KZbin what you just did, it’s awesome man looking good, I will suggest you to do power folding mirror in next video please

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Thanks but nahh. That’s a lot of work. My mirror have blind spot detection and they can manually fold. Having them auto fold is not much of an added benefit for me to spend all that time and money to do the retrofit.

[@maximusoptimusTECH]

Thank you!!!! This was the product I was looking for sooooooo long. My S5 definitely needs ambient light (but without having do use an app or these ugly LED remotes) as well as a carbon fiber upgrade for the ugly Aluminium door trims and this does everything for a really reasonable price :D

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I love mine. So glad I did it. It really made me have a new love for my interior on my Audi…especially when my Benz interior is so much better. Now I truly enjoy my Audi interior a lot. Nothing but compliments from my passengers.

[@edbryan3113]

Gotta go red to match the rest of the interior lights, looks good

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I actually rock the orange color. It matches well with my stock infotainment screen and it looks good against my gray paint. But I’ll be installing an android screen soon so who knows what color I’ll rock.

Your hand gestures crack me up every time buddy lol ... great job, again, great step by step - calm instructions. The carbon inserts you took out of your doors, what’s your plan for them? Mine is right hand drive so the dash on would be on the wrong side. She’s looking gorgeous... have you the genuine Quattro puddle lights in? I love mine, nicer touch than the 4 rings ..🔥

[@Ndlelex]

Those hand gestures are necessary to make the demo fool-proof; a demo has to be that detailed. Mine's also RHD; this is a retrofit I am seriously considering as well.

[@vlatkostankovski7327]

I do not know why all the online sales sites say that it is suitable for Audi from 2009 onwards, when there are A4 b8 and from 2008

[@TheFlexxGarage]

A lot of these sites go by the model years in their countries (yes, a lot of online resellers for based outside the US).

[@gam3rhashtag]

It will be nice it the carbon look wasn't that shiny. It gives more a Aliexpress look. but outside of that look good !

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I don’t mind the gloss. In person, it def steps up the interior and gives it a more premium look. Just my opinion I guess.

[@kwabzadjei8070]

Is this available for coupes/ convertibles? Or its only for 4 door cars?

[@Ndlelex]

I imagine, in those cases, one'd just leave out the rear door trims (honestly, I am not sure if 2-door versions have those, to begin with) and the ones that illuminate the door handles, since this seems like a straight up plug & play system that requires no coding of any sort. I don't see any reason why the pocket lights wouldn't find a home in such cars, though.

[@SMP47356]

Is there a way that can get the trim pieces only? Or it won't work with just the trim pieces?

[@mohammadabdollahi2890]

When does will the light turn on? What I mean is does ignition has to be on for the lights to work or does it work as long as the keys are in?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I don’t remember but I think as soon as I unlock the car.

[@MannyFresh1x]

Would be nice if it was real carbon fiber or gloss black... or even brushed silver. This looks like something I would get from pepboys.

[@MeikHiebenga]

Nice video..thanks a lot. Can you tell or show us, where the coding on the central electrical module and the radio module has to be changed?

[@lucho3865]

Will this same kit with for a Q5 and A5?

[@DreDaYoungan23]

I like the kit but is there a versuon with gloss black panels instead of the fake carbon fiber?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Don’t know. You need to contact DMP and ask. You can always vinyl wrap them gloss black as a last resort.

I would really like to install this ambient light on my 2013 Audi A5 B8. However, I have a question...

No setup. It just works.

[@genion188]

Hello, is the same product on the sales page as you have? The video is really cool of you, you explain it perfectly, many KZbinrs can use an example ,I come from Germany...

[@TheFlexxGarage]

This video is almost 3 years old. I’m not sure if they are selling the exact same kit anymore. I heard they are selling a new version that slightly different. You will need to contact DMP Car Design and ask them what the differences are.

[@elyy3077]

If im not wrong... the stock wiring will remain there unused? Why not changing only the lights and plug them directly on the stock wiring thats already installed? Won't work?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Huh? There’s no stock wiring for ambient lights. The Audi b8 and b8.5 platforms never came with stock ambient lights or wiring for it.

[@lawrencefitch7007]

If you mean the footwell lights, you can change the lights and put them on the old wires but you will have no receiver to change colour

Good morning friend, a question. Like me when it comes to installing an Android screen after having installed that light kit. because I see that everything is connected when connecting that is under the glove compartment

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I answered this question a few times in the comment second. The ambient kit cause an extra plug to piggyback the android onto it. So both can still be connected to the canbus port.

NOTE ON THE DOOR POCKET LIGHT: it’s recommended to drill a hole in an area so when the light is installed, the light is located on the bottom side of the door’s armrest.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Most aftermarket parts don’t come with instructions. That’s why parts suppliers recommend you have a professional install the parts. Luckily DMP is pretty helpful and can guide you if you can do the majority of the stuff I did in my video. If you’ve never taken apart your car, then instructions aren’t going to help you. You risk doing damage and better off having a shop do the install if you want good results.

[@alancasey1991]

Quick question. I brought the same carbon emblem for my steering wheel but it doesn't stick down well. How did your stick on? Or did you do something else to make it stick better? Cheers

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Just make sure the surface is clean using isopropyl alcohol, then slightly heat up the sticky side of the emblem before sticking on. That’s how you should be installing any form of sticker/decal/emblem.

[@alancasey1991]

@@TheFlexxGarage Thanks. I did all the steps apart from the heat. I'll add some heat to it.
