Thank you very much. Much appreciated. Will try this asap. Best wishes.

Everything works now with 10 different colours - it looks brilliant! Thanks for the inspiration, guidance etc.
Originally I had three colours; white, blue and yellow (Ambient Light Plus).
Would it be possible to get the 10 colours if one only had the 1-colour Ambient Light system?

not in the door strips and footwell as they are not normally multicoloured LED’s just white

Yes, I know - even on my Ambient Plus edition the door strips and footwell are only white. They can not change colour.

I am thinking about the strip running through the doors at the top and in the front of the dashboard. Can one code them to have all the ten colours instead of the one white only?

did they change colour with the 3 colours? If not then I would have thought they were not multicoloured LED’s

What I did with obdeleven but it will only allow you to change colour, if you want the different dials or the balls in the Center of the AID then they are different adaptions (but a lot easier than colour change)

Central electronics
Adaptions

int light. 2nd generation

Instrumententafelbeleuchtung mehrfarbig - active

Interior light, light configuration

Ambientemenue mit alle zonen - active

I then reset the mmi by pressing and holding the on/off button for 10 seconds then went into car/settings then checked the "background lighting" button was in there, pressed it and checked it went on to a picture of the interior of the car, then

Tweak: Colour Change in AID
Vehicle: Passat B8 206TSI R-Line MY17 (AUS)
Tweak completed with OBDEleven, should work with VCDS, but may be slightly different on newer cars (My18s)

Not sure if all the below needs to be done, but these are the settings on my car and it works.


Control unit: 5F Information Control Unit
Adaptations:
Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2: menu_display_ambient_illumination: activated
Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2: menu_display_ambient_illumination_over_threshold_h igh: activated

To get the cool dials in the AID

Control unit: 17 Dash Board
Adaptations:
Display depiction: Version 3
Tube_version: variant_4


Control unit: 09 Central Electrics
Adaptations:
Ambientelicht Farbliste: Rotwert Farbe 1: 144
Ambientelicht Farbliste: Gruenwert Farbe 1: 24
Ambientelicht Farbliste: Blauwert Farbe 1: 28
Change all colours up to 10, none can be R: 0, G: 0, B: 0 as none will work
I got the numbers for RGB from MS Excel (format cell > fill), but from other posts, Create Color Schemes, Test Color Combinations - Colorspire will give the same result.
Pick what colours you like, find the RGB, enter those numbers into Rewert (Red), Gruenwert (Green) and Blauwert (you guessed it, Blue)
My favourite colour is Maroon, so R, G, B is 144, 24, 28, but need to lighten the colour up a bit.


I also have the below settings active, again, not sure if they need to be or not, but they work.

Int. light, 2nd generation: weicher Farbwechsel: active

Cold Boot MIB Unit
Hold down left button for 10 seconds (or so)
Wait for restart
Reset Background Lighting Setting in MIB
with MIB on, goto the below;
Menu > Vehicle > Settings > Factory Reset > Background Lighting > Reset


Then you can go into Menu > Vehicle > Settings > Background Lighting
You should have 10 colours at the bottom to choose from, select a colour, and both the MIB and AID change to that colour. If not, there may be a 3 colour small box to the right at the bottom. This doesn't change the Interior Door Lights, as on mine, they are just white.


I've seen a couple of people on all forums have dramas with this, so thought i'd try to figure it out. Some of this is lifted from other guys posts, zloybob (via NZ_GolfR), so thanks.


I'm certainly no expert on all this stuff, but this is a cool tweak, and hope this helps.

Doesn't change the door lights on my MY16 passat r, does teh door light only work on certain cars?

[Goublin]

Does this work on MY16 Passat?

ive done the 10 colours on the dash but can't get the LED door lights to work. I can't figure out whether its just no possible or I missed a step on my MY16 passat. Im assuming if you get one you should get the other, any help would be great

[WetFishDB]

Anyone managed to get a white to properly work on the Arteon? Tried 255,255,255 and it made the dash white but the ambient lighting a slight purple colour. Put the default white back, but the dash is actually blue in that one.

I really want both white and cannot work out how to do it.

[Jap]

There’s a bit more added to the ambient lights mod @goublin

[peekay34]

I don't have ambient lights in MY GTI Performance pack edition but I do have a Discover Pro with the Virtual Cockpit and would like to be able to change the colours on the Virtual Cockpit..... I assume it should work despite not having ambient lights (this version of car comes with permanent red led lights in the door) has anyone else tested this with out having the door and footwell colour changing lights.

[Jap]

Yes I have a golf with standard white lights in the doors/foot wells works perfect on just the MMI and AID, if you had the colour changing LEDs then this mod would already be done by VW at the factory

[Jap]

Anyone wanna do me a favour and try something for me?

Sure Jap, What do you need?

I'm slowly working my way through the list and getting stuff happening. Learning the VCDS tweaks etc. I've got the Hex-NET from Ross-tech btw.
