VW Golf MK7 (5G): cup holder ambient light coding & wiring

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Definitely a WIN for VW MK7 owners.. Thanks for all of your VW/Audi Software and Hardware additions throughout the years, mr-fix.

[@mrfixpl]

Thank you!

[@umar2gud]

Huge respect man 😮 You are amazing i was not aware that VWs are customizable on such level.

[@mrfixpl]

At first I thought it was over-engineered, but now I kind of like the way I can customize this.

[@giannisstasinakis]

@@mrfixpl i agree 100% with you.

[@meesterss]

Good video, very clear. I did the same with facelift BCM. Coding works the same, but no long coding necessary. Adaptations is enough. Its how I control my self installed ambient lighting on the dash and reardoors(Lichtfunction a** Ambienlicht 3, for control door ambient lights). Gives a very nice oem-like Feeling. Also did a lot of adjustments to how the domelights work when lock/unlock and open/close the doors, so Ambient lights are more visible when unlocking car in the dark.

[@mrfixpl]

That's cool! Does the rear lights and dash ambient light stay on if you change drive mode to sport? As far as I know ambient3 is active with normal/eco/comfort and ambient4 is active with sport/race/dynamic. This way you can create different scene in sporty settings.

[@meesterss]

@mr-fix Actually, I don't know, I don't have DSG. But maybe add lichtfunction B or C then with ambient 4? For the dash and also "Ashtray" I set on ambient 2 and the reardoors to ambient 3.

WoW this one is crazy cool!!! Thanks a lot for your knowledge

[@mrfixpl]

Took me while to figure it out, but in the end it's working!

[@giannisstasinakis]

you are amazing my friend. Thank you for the lesson.

[@mrfixpl]

Happy to help!

[@claudiu1178]

Respect man 🫡 Thank you 🤝🫡 I try to figure this out but i have no idea where i must begin😵‍💫. It was easier like you did it before for all other things, step by step 🫣. Anyway, thank you for your work 🤝

[@mrfixpl]

At your service! Enjoy!

[@iamdmc]

I'd never do this but still cool to see thanks

[@mrfixpl]

Not a big fan of ambient lights?

[@iamdmc]

@@mrfixpl that's part of it yes. I prefer a completely dark cabin at night due to light sensitivity

[@AMMO_x]

Great video! Love your stuff bro!

[@mrfixpl]

Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it!

Hi mal eine Frage :) ich wollte gerne meine Blinker vorne so codieren das die beim abschließen und aufschließen ganz langsam ausgehen, geht das? Wenn ja wie ? Ich hatte das bereits bei einem anderen gesehen habe es aber noch nicht hinbekommen Evtl kannst du mir helfen

Hello. I have a 2018 tiguan with white door strips, I want to install a led strip on the front passenger front., after installation I can manage it from the menu together with the doors.? Is there a menu to activate?

[@LeonardoOliveira-pc2cf]

Hello @mrfixpl is it possible to code ambient light using unused channels like you did on this golf on a 2006 Passat B6? Thank you!

[@billmanello]

Thanks for the tutorial. How did you mount the led strip on the cup holders? Double sided tape that it already has? How did you feed the cable in the cup holder? Drilled a hole? How much led strip was required for cupholders and wireless charging area? Thank you.

[@mrfixpl]

Yes, double sided tape, 3mm drill, bought 2 meters long strip to add it in couple more places (front cubby, glove box, door pockets, trunk under-floor storage, sun shades holder) and still have some to spare.

[@billmanello]

@@mrfixpl Thanks for answering. Will you also show the result and tutorial for the other areas you will be placing led strip?

[@threemileallan]

how did the double sided tape hold up to drink condensation? ok? had to redo it?

[@antonymathew]

Could you help me on "how to remove the turn on dipped beam/lights notification when light knob is in 0 position " with Obdeleven. I tried many forums , but couldn't find the settings. For MQB platform vehicle. VW Taigun ( india)

[@vagretrofitturkiye]

Hello, I installed Ambiance Plus on my Mr Fix vehicle, but I cannot open and close the legs and doors separately. How can I do this? When I dim the door lights, they dim at the feet. Thanks ❤

[@darrenshaw6083]

great video i have a skoda ocyavia with ambient lighting from factory and was wondering iff i can fit puddle lights in the back doors and connect direct to door module thanks

[@mrfixpl]

Not sure if Octavia is equipped with rear door modules. MK7 is not.

[@darrenshaw6083]

no problem thanks for reply

[@mrfixpl]

even if not equipped, there are ways. 😅

[@darrenshaw6083]

i would think they is a wire in door loom to connect too but the question is which one id it . if they is no door module i dont fancy running cable to bcm its not worth it

[@aliusblacksmith]

hi very good work.. i bought the same strip and try it, but i cannote get it work, try channel c61 leuchte ambl1 not work,, so i try tha last ambl4 on c37 even that is not working.. can you help me with that. thx :-)

[@nugget18t]

@mr-fix any plans on a video for RGB ambient footwell lighting?

[@osmanbag8812]

Sorry it's not related to this video, but can you add mk7 without mode button in a video?

[@mrfixpl]

Drive Modes are protected with FEC/SWaP code. It's not that easy to make it work.

[@muratsimsir5054]

Hey MrFix Would i be able to do the same procedure with eBay ambient lights that work through Bluetooth where each Light has 5 controllers. If i was to Connect a led strip on the Dashboard to the pin in bcm would i be able to afvist the brightnes og it?

[@carbongecko]

Thank you so much.

[@mrfixpl]

Welcome!

[@drugebober]

interesting, but will it not be distracting while driving?

[@mrfixpl]

That's what the slider is for. And full brightness on the slider is 10% of the absolute.

Hello If i take eléctrica ⚡️ from sigarette lighter - and + Its ok ? Bcoz i need Only light without customizing from info system

[@T00ble]

Hello, many thanks for the video. I’ve been trying to achieve similar effects in my Octavia 3. This acts as a very good coding tutorial! So I cannot thank you enough! I have a high line BCM and Gateway in my car. Do you have any information of how the RGB controller works? As I’m going for highly customisable RGB ambient lighting in my car Many thanks again

[@ReinoutX]

I do not have the "leuchte" channels in my q5 fy. Do you know how I can control the pins in the BCM?

[@matejjustus4573]

Thank you for amazing video. Is it also possible to do RGB with controls in the main unit? Tried to look everywhere, only thing i found was setting dash colour, or aftermaket rgb with remote control.

[@mrfixpl]

As far as I know, you would have to install BCM from Passat or Arteon, in HIGH trim and start from there.

[@HakerJanusz-cc2fu]

Hej, masz pomysł jak rozdzielić sterowanie jasnością ambiente od podświetlenia nóg, po zmianie na mib2? Na mib1 było w sekcji oświetlenia wnętrza, w mib2 jest osobna zakładka ambiente i przycisk wszystko, który reguluje obie te rzeczy naraz. Co prawda Leon 3 ale komponenty te same.

[@mrfixpl]

Moduł 09, adaptacja, "Interior light, light configuration". Tam wyłącz dwie rzeczy: "Ambientemenue mit globalem aus" oraz "Ambientemenue mit alle Zonen". Jak to zrobisz, to osobne menu oświetlenia wnętrza powinno zniknąć, a suwaki powinny wrócić do menu świateł.

What is the difference between ultimate pack which is by 199€ and ultimate VAG plan which is 139€ ?

If the BCM supports RGB controls, yes. I'm not sure if Golf came with such BCM and one from Passat is needed.
