Can anyone do this for me or have a video they can provide that walks through the ambient lighting and what bytes change what and so on?

I've watched a couple videos on a G20 and the guy had managed to code his interior dash/door trim lights to red and the floorboard lights to blue (he changed bronze) and then coded in to replace the blue and white option in iDrive to then be blue dash/door trim lights and red floorboard lights which is ultimately what I'm going for. I understand to values needed to be entered into the bytes for the color needed. However, I don't really understand which bytes need to be changed. Since, at least the way I understand it. Some of the bytes control which ambient lights are changed location wise and based on what bytes you choose will also depend on which color option inside of iDrive it changes.

Any info would be appreciated. I'm not sure if many people are very educated or have risked going into Expert mode and messing around with bimmercode but I recently saw this image and LOVED the light layout on the interior.

Check this guide, The spreadsheet included really helps.

Appreciate it! Reading through it, at least this person recommends changing the default color (Bronze) to Red and then just changing the white coloration in the Bronze/White option to blue which works. But I was hoping to be able to keep Bronze as Magenta as I do now and then change either the Bronze/White option or the Blue/White option in iDrive to the Red & Blue combo. I'll try and do a bit more digging as to how that's done.

Edit: I looked at the Excel sheet he made and it actually simplifies things quite a bit.

Edit #2: However I'm still slightly confused because I'm seeing there are bytes for changing colors and bytes for what lights get changed and it's starting to confuse me again hehe

Here is a better explanation and a better spreadsheet.

Look at post #230 and #237

These codings are for LCI's only?

[TheNine90]

I dont know the difference but you can check your coding and see if it matches.

Look at post #230 and #237

It helps moderately. I think I understand the coloring options/hexcodes. Now the understanding I'm lacking is which bytes are tied to which interior lights. Most guides are seeing are with vehicles that only have 1 line of lights on the interior and not 2 like the F90/5 Series and whatever other vehicle have and I'm not sure which bytes affect the top/bottom trim and door lights, which bytes affect the floorwell and which bytes affect the map light.

I should also add most guides I'm seeing are on G20 series which say to look for a specific coding data section that's labeled with multiple different G20 series and well...having an F90 I did not see an F90 data section when I peaked inside expert mode earlier today

It just had a look at a cafd from F90 BDC, it looks like it uses the old ambient light mapping.

In BDC look for 3074 LciMasterColor, FC

If it has something like this then it uses the old mapping.
AMBIENTE_FARBE_ENSEMBLE_1_LAYER_1_R
AMBIENTE_FARBE_ENSEMBLE_1_LAYER_1_G
AMBIENTE_FARBE_ENSEMBLE_1_LAYER_1_B

Im not sure how it looks in bimmercode but i use esys.
The thread below is for the old BDC mapping.

Coding should be divided into two: dash vs door/floor.

Specific FDLs vary depending on whether car is Pre-LCI or LCI.

I had my car coded by a local guy. If you’re around NYC I can send you his contact info. He added “M colors” for ambient lighting. I love it. Genius idea if you ask me. Try it out.

Cool! Just to confirm: The orange dash and steering wheel lights CANNOT be changed with coding??

Really cool! Can you send me his info I might want to do this I’m in the area. Thanks!

His instagram handle is bmcodingnyc and his number is +1 (347) 863-7562 - his name is Ali. Tell him Franky with the white f90 m5 from Yonkers sent you.
