Hi there, hoping someone here might be able to help! I do have pre lci 4 series, switched to benzinfabrik led modules for door panels, footwell lights and lci radio trim. All works fine, however passenger side footwell stays in blue color when the doors are open (blue/orange605 version). I thought it might be an issue with Y cable used for lci radio trim, but its the same story even when plugged directly. Would anyone know what might be wrong here? Not sure if its coding issue or original connection not pinned correctly? any thoughts on what to check? Thank you!

Here is the email: Hello, Unfortunately we have to inform you that something went wrong with article B8023.28. We made a small mistake in the production of this color. The ambience assignment is correct in blue/orange605, but the entrance lighting is also in blue. If this is an option for you, then we can offer it to you immediately. Otherwise it could be a delivery time of 4 weeks. |

Wait...So footwell lights should be white until either blue or Orange605 ambient lights kick in? My footwell light are blue! I did order around that time but did not receive said email.

At open the door, the white and the blue (or orange) LED lights up and after closing the door the white is extinguishing and the blue (or what other color ever) remains as ambient light on. If you have combo blue/orange, there it should be similar.

I've not checked to see which actual LEDs are on, but there is certainly no blue light when the door first opens. Unless the white and blue are both on and the white LED is overpowering the blue LED. |

So when you got ordered white/blue the first color is white. When got blue/orange, then first color should be blue. In case of their false color combo kit they had already stated, that this were caused by production.

regardless of color combo, when you open the door it should go to bright white, afaik there are always 2 bright white leds and 2 colored (for classics/sports ambient color). Having the same modules installed my drivers side goes bright white when doors open, but passsenger side goes to blue. I would be fine with both going blue with open door, but this color mismatch looks like aliexpress mods starter pack.. not sure if that can be coded or i have repin the connection :/

did that, works as it should on drivers side. i thought it might be caused by Y cable im using to power retrofitted oem radio trim, but its the same when plugged directly. I have no idea in what order the wires should be if i start messing with the wiring of the original connection, anyone has a wiring diagram for that footwell plug?

Slight update.. I have just purchased the full replacement kit that are all over aliexpress. I was going to place an order with benzinfabrik but by the time you've spent all that money on multiple replacement chips you can get the entire kit with multi colour.
You plug into the door harness and with coding you can control the colours via settings in iDrive. Once the kit arrives I'll update on the install and finished product I also paid extra for the replacement led lit speaker covers for both front and rear HK setup. |

I saw this kit long time ago.
The reasons i didn't bought it is because the installation looks to much complicated and the time you need to install this. I'v bought my leds from benzinfabrik and replaced all the leds in the interior, It took me less than 20 minutes. Wish you good luck with this and wait to see the result. The main thing i wait to see is how you will move all the wires. |

Well finally ambient lighting to my door pockets, although using pre lci modules it's not that bright.
Also upgraded my HK speakers to B&W's and with the woven grey cone on the B&W's it really reflects well with the ambient lighting. But the best big is that it sounds so better than HK. |

Hey all,
I got a bit of a problem with ambient lightning. I am running F30 pre LCI with Light package(it had orange dim ambient light under the door trims). I retrofitted door panels and climate trim with 2 colours which I bought over Ali Express. There is basic Orange and White blue colours in all trims now. I coded switching colours via iDrive with Bimmercode and the issue I face right now is that when I switch from Orange to Blue colour(Classic to Orange), climate ambient works perfectly and it switches colour, however door panels does not switch colour at all, instead they stop shining and they go dark! Now, there is two cables that comes with the door ambient trims that I have placed in the doors. One cable is with two and another with three pins. My thought is that one is for switching the colours through IDrive and another on the small switch under each of these trims(there is small switch under each door trim). 1. When trim cable with two pins is connected, switching on small switch works and I can switch colours in each door, however once I try to change colour in IDrive, as I said before, all doors goes dark. Issue with this one is that I need to manually switch colour each time in each switch and also if I switch to blue colour in doors, it must remain orange in iDrive and climate trim. 2. When trim cable with three pins is connected, switching the colours with the small switch does NOT work and when iDrive is set to Classic(orange) door trims are shining blue while climate trim shine orange(as expected). Once I change colour in iDrive to sport, doors lights goes dark(as in any case I switch to sport in iDrive) and climate trim switches the colour as expected. This is driving me crazy for a past moths and I am not able to find the answer. Anyone could help me? |

Hi all, I swapped out the led modules using the ones from Benzinfabrik today on my f30 lci, but unfortunately on the first door I broke the see-through strip that leads the light (picture below)... Basically part of the tip broke straight off when I took off the led module housing and now barely any light comes through to the door.
I'm trying to find the part number of it and if it can be easily replaced, does anyone here know? View post on imgur.com |
