VW Golf MK7 (5G) Background lighting ambient lights menu activation

How to enable #ambient light menu in #VW Golf MK7 using OBDeleven. This will change old sliders layout of the interior lights to the new Background Lighting #menu for ambient illumination. Quick coding and adaptation change in BCM and MIB will activate new menu with cogs/suns to control brightness of different light zones. The same procedure can be done with VCDS.

Great tutorial! My radio was upgraded on my mk7 and since the upgrade i had only the black screen with single button to adjust all lights at once, when previously i had individual sliders. You cant imagine how happy this makes me

[@mrfixpl]

Happy to help! Please let me know if that actually fixed your issue, OK?

[@citronovykolac]

​@@mrfixpl sadly, for whatever reason, my adaptation channel "Interior light, light configuration" on Centra Electrics 09 does not contain options you specify. My channel contains - Ambiente_Applikationsleisten_in_Tuertafel - installed, Ambiente_Lautsprecher - not installed, Ambiente_Applikationsleisten_in_Instrumententafel - not installed, Cockpitbeleuchtung - not installed, Mittelkonsolenbeleuchtung - not installed, Dachbeleuchtung - not installed, Panoramaschiebedachbeleuchtung - not installed, Fussraumbeleuchtung - installed, Farbwahl ueber HMI - not installed, Farbwahl ueber Fahrprofil - not installed. All of these options seem like only specifying which lights are installed, nothing in regards to menu behaviour (besides the color selection Farbwahl which is useless on golf lights) Here are some hw details in case you are able to deduct something from it Car: vw golf mk7 2014 2.0TDI CRLB Highline - stock footwell & door lighting Central electrics 09 details - System description: BCM MQBAB H Hardware number: 5Q0937084AE Hardware version: H16 Software number: 5Q0937084AE Software version: 0124 Also when I tried to atleast enable the background via changing the car model it did not work (ive also restarted headunit). It stayed at regular mk7 hatch model.

[@mrfixpl]

It might be old software. Both in BCM (without the ambient menu options) and in MIB (pre-facelift firmware - I'm actually running 0478).

Nice! Going to try this tomorrow. Can we add the different colours into it or nah ? i've got a mk7 GTD with a MIB2

[@purpled4864]

this is my question as well

[@TheCarGuru]

I coded everything as you described and I only have the ALL button with the slider for the lights door and footwell lights. I don't have the two little cogs where I can change the lights individually by area. Before the recode, like your car, I also had the individual sliders in the lights menu. Do you know what could be wrong? I have an MK7.5 GTI.

[@mrfixpl]

Try also changing this: P ambientelicht verbauinformation HMI = 17 P ambientelicht verbauinformation HMI2 = 84 If those adaptation channels accept binary strings, use: HMI = 00010001 HMI2 = 01010100

[@TheCarGuru]

​@@mrfixplThank you. Your instructions worked like a charm. Do you know how I could enable the option to enable/disable the left-hand vs right-hand main headlight option in the MIBII? Our NAR GTI's don't have that menu option from the factory.

Would it be possible to adjust when the ambient light comes on or off? For example, keeping them on for a few seconds when the car is off or turning them on when unlocking the car?

[@mrfixpl]

Possible. Check my video about cup holder retrofit. There are delay parameters that you can adjust for different interior light zones.
