VW Golf MK7 (5G) interior ambient light installation (part 4)

[@meesterss]

Great video again. Only I found out that for rear-left door you need to use pin 2 for ground instead of pin 5. Thanks @mr-fix

[@BoondyIsOn]

Champion, confirmed left rear door is pin 2. Thank you

[@denissotinac2435]

Did It today. Very good and simple diy project! You did a good job, keep Going! Cheers!

[@rsenkerik]

Thank you - very useful. Solving similar problems in my VW Touran (2017). Just a question - what do you think? Will it be possible to retrofit rear door control modules? I found these modules on allegro (including complete wiring from doors). But not sure about coding, how to tell a car, that there are both front and rear door control units.

Very helpful and informative, thank you 👍

Hi , Followed your instructions and yes the ambient light was success. But for door light I’m not sure that the connection is 100% off when door is closed and to confirm it if I check it multimeter it still reads 10volts after door is shut ? Can you explain if that will drain the battery? Thanks

[@turmoilstabilizer9054]

Hi mate, did you manage to solve this problem as I have followed the instructions above, but have the same concerns over current drain.

[@mderoukakis]

Same problem here....Have you found a solution?

[@mderoukakis]

It is closing the circuit through the BCM on the original wire going to PIN 5 (Right Door)/PIN2(Left Door)....it will drain your battery. You need to isolate your light from the BCM using a relay. I would post a diagram but this is only a text box.

[@StefanAlfisti]

In this way the lights will come on when the door is just unlocked but not when it opens. Right?

[@Maxton986]

No, the lights will be ON when u open the door if u are connected wires same as video showing. But u must also coding it after all, door exit lights must be ACTIVATED. It's simple with OBDELEVEN.

[@mrfixpl]

There’s no coding for rear doors because there’s no rear door modules in MK7.

[@Maxton986]

@@mrfixpl Agree 👍 :) I thought on driver's and passengers doors :) Those two back will be active .

[@StefanAlfisti]

@@Maxton986 the rear lights will be ON when you unlock the car but without necessarily opening the doors. That's OK. It's the best that can be done since a lot of MQB cars do not have rear door control modules. I am waiting for a set of warning/puddle lights to install on a Leon MK3 and I will probably connect them the same way as in the video. I have also installed red led diodes on every door pocket and I have also used power and ground from the window switch as mr-fix suggests.

@@Maxton986 how do you program it with the OBD Eleven?

[@stephanpieterse6960]

Which connections are these. I am looking for a connector (molex type) that would prevent me having to cut into OEM wires. Please help.

[@bigmerttips]

Brother I installer ambient lightning but I cant change the colour, just stays green. Can you help me maybe?

W prawych tylnych drzwiach działa bez problemu, w lewych niestety nie. Może wiesz czemu?

[@mrfixpl]

Nie wiem czy tam przypadkiem nie są piny na opak. te przy zamku.

@@mrfixpl ok sprawdzę przy okazji. Dzięki za wszystko co robisz 😉 fajnie się to ogląda. Pozdrawiam

[@DOMsowier]

Pytanie o tylne klamki. Udało Ci się je podświetlić?

[@victorsolem577]

Bonjour,xDans m'a Golf 7.5 je ne peux modifier les couleurs que du discover media et de OBD mais pour les panneaux de portes elles restes blanche. Quel est le réglage pour changer aussi les couleurs ?

[@rfbakeruk]

Can you tell me what ODB eleven settings are needed just for the ambient lights in the bottom of the front door panels?

[@mrfixpl]

42/52 → Long Coding → Byte: 01 → Bit 02 → enable

my passat b8 is giving an error "air distribution motor jammed" do you know where it is located? , tryed the adapt flaps in obdeleven but stays the same

[@arthurboncquet75]

hello, anyone facing the same problem? Tried this today but never get the light on, it always burns only slightly. What is also weird I do get 12V when the door is open and 9V when it is closed, when I put the amperometer between it I measure 0A. Someone who can help me please?

[@patyi200]

@mr-fix did you already managed to light up the light strip in the silver part of the door trim? Your videos are awsome. Very informative and helpful. Thank you

[@victorcervaciuc4104]

did u foud how to do back doors

[@noz3m]

What do you use to tap into the existing car wires? wire taps?

[@mrfixpl]

I cut the wires and solder into them.

[@giuseppearmranrandone5726]

hello, I also did the exact same job on cupra formentor ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYCYdptrisuIiNU ) ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/forGpYCHpap1mNE ); I have to disassemble the doors again to do another job; I want to install the LED lights on the outside handles and I would like to avoid connecting them to the lights under the mirrors otherwise I would have to pass the cables from the front doors to the rear ones. In your opinion, could I intercept the signal directly at the socket you are talking about for the work of the lights under the door? I think I should find the cable that is the signal for switching on the interior lights when the car is opened from the remote control and also when the doors are opened, what do you say?
