This DOES NOT change the colours on the doors or footwell if you haven’t got the right hardware
if they help you out please like my videos
I do NOT get any monies from KZbin or voltas for making these videos, and if a advert does appear it’s down to KZbin’s new terms

Thanks to you I have ambient lighting in 2020 Golf

[@easyeasytalk]

My ambientelicht farbaste change to ambient light color list since last obd11 upadate

[@iicrazyraq7961]

Got a Golf GTD 7.5 ..... will this exact procedure work for the extra ambient lights as I’ve tried activated through OB11 ‘apps’ category but it doesn’t allow me to do it . Thanks

[@vwjapvideos5498]

What do you mean extra?

[@danycool500]

I have a 2017 Golf Mk7 FL 1.6 TDI with the MIB2.5 VW Discover Media[MQB] (acording to the serial number). I would like to change the colors of the top bar of the display and around the menu items, but a don't have ambient lighting as an option on my MIB. Tried using the App but it says it's not supported. Can someone please tell me how to use longcoding to add ambient colors and the colors itself (even if only the 10 original color pack), It would make me extremely happy. Thanks!

[@vwjapvideos5498]

This is the long coding for the 10 colour mod mate,

[@ssmufc9941]

My Passat Estate GT 2017 has white light strips in the doors and foot welds - would I be able to configure it to get more colours? Or does my car not have the physical components for coloured lights?

[@vwjapvideos5498]

White LED’s are not multicoloured normally I’m afraid, so I don’t think they will change colour without hardware

[@zh1h3o]

Will this work on a mk 7.5 2019 Golf 1.4 tsi (NON GTI/R)? It says not supported on the "apps" page.

[@vwjapvideos5498]

I dint really know, the only thing you can do is look through all the switches to make sure there all there, maybe vw have changed the name of one of the menus or switches and that’s why it’s coming up not supported?

[@johndoherty3884]

I know this is on a golf. I have Tiguan AD1 and can only get the brightness sliders to show. Any assistance would be appreciated

[@johndoherty3884]

Got it sorted thanks for the video

[@PolishYourCar]

Unfortunetly it's changing color of Radio and Active info display only . Footlight and door Led strip is still blue in my 2018 Golf R

[@vwjapvideos5498]

Yes as they are not multicoloured LEDs,

[@PolishYourCar]

@@vwjapvideos5498 do you know which cars has multicolor leds? I'll try to buy OEM part and replace it :)

[@vwjapvideos5498]

For Vw it’s in the ambient lighting plus pack (which was rarely bought), I think the arteon has it (as it has 3 colour ambient lighting) BUT I’ve been told there molded into the door trim so to do it would be replace the door trim, and put a extra wire to the central electronics ECU and a different wiring loom to the door ECU’s

[@benjames4663]

Sorry do you reckon this would work on the polo GTi? It's got the same infotainment system (slightly smaller) and the ambient light is all white, any chance they're RGB? You think it's worth buying the stuff? Thanks

[@vwjapvideos5498]

If it has all the same switches in the module it should do, but you can ask on the obdeleven forum

[@riadjqx]

Ambientelicht Farbliste shows me beautiful colors and next to them E1 is not like you have what is the solution🥺😑

[@vwjapvideos5498]

I don’t understand what you mean by E1

[@S65V8M3]

Hi mate. Just wanna say thanks. Followed this vid and got the 10 colour mod enabled on my 2017 Golf R. Just a quick question; do you know how to upgrade to the 30 colours?

[@vwjapvideos5498]

Depends if you module has Central electrics -Adaption --Ambience_lightning_color_list_2 If it does just fill them in (11-30)

[@vwjapvideos5498]

Or Ambientelicht Farbliste list 2

[@S65V8M3]

Hi mate. I don't have either of those options in the central electrics menu. Car is an early mk7.5 (2017) is the 30 colours not possible then?

[@vwjapvideos5498]

Looks like you have the same software/firmware as me then, you could get the cereal electronics module updated

[@andresterrazas855]

Would this work on the non GTI or R model of the mk7.... it has the same lighting just not the engine and so.

[@vwjapvideos5498]

This is on a gt-tdi not a gti/r dude so if all the switches are there then yes

[@vwjapvideos5498]

I don’t know, all you can do is check to see if all the options are there, if they are then it should work, if not then don’t try the mod, but this is on a mk7 facelift,

[@mwill101]

Just took delivery of new 7.5 gti performance(uk), I’m presuming if I had an ambient light plus pack or whatever it is I’d be able to change colours as standard in the settings already...? Can only change brightness of door and footwell, red on door, white on footwell. Don’t really wanna buy an OBD11 and can’t change it, most of the other options I can change are already standard. Your wisdom would be hugely appreciated

[@vwjapvideos5498]

Yeah if you had RGB LED’s then you would already have the “background lighting” menu, so the mod won’t need doing

@VWjap Videos I tried to follow your steps for my Golf. With AID and MIB2. I do not have the Ambientelicht Farbliste option. I tried to edit: p_ambientelicht_verbauinformation_HMI = 11111111 --> it did not allow me. it said "Please enter 1 hexadecimal bytes separated by spaces". I was able to edit only: p_ambientelicht_verbauinformation_HMI = 11 p_ambientelicht_verbauinformation_HMI_2 = 11111111 -> same problem -> current setting: p_ambientelicht_verbauinformation_HMI_2 = 11 p_ambienteumfang_mehrfarbig_HMI = 100 -> same error: "Please enter 1 hexadecimal bytes separated by spaces". ; current value = 10 accepted p_ambienteumfang_mehrfarbig_HMI_2 = 100 -> current value = 10. The 10 colors appeared, but I am not able to edit them after color 3. Color 1, color 2, color 3 = OK Color 4 - color 10. NOT OK. When I try to edit them it tells me: STORED VALUE: E1 And If i try to add a value... it says "Please enter 1 hexadecimal bytes separated by spaces" again. Please help!
