Do you myb have a multimeter? If yes, then code your car with 563 and 7AC option, and then check the voltage from the 9B connector from Pin 50 to 54 (It should be 10V or more, not under) |

It's a hardware revision issue: FEM with hardware revision ZB4 or lower cannot retrofit ambient light. The workaround would be to clone your FEM to a higher revision FEM (ZB6 or higher), then do the retrofit, code, if necessary.
My FEM is a ZB6, and the retrofit went smoothly, while I also took the chance to upgrade mids and install tweeters and subs. Please keep us posted, we would be so happy to help you. Code:

Guys i tried the retrofit but i got no signal outputs on A173*9B
Now i retrofitted the full dome light to get ambient. Everything works fine but now i need to find a place to connect my door handle lights(these are on outside) So im trying again the retrofit on A173*9B to connect my door handle lights Is it possible that i need to do a full update on my FEM Ecu. Because the version is on 2011. On my Fem is a ZB8 |

yes, but you can't change it so easily. It's a complicated operation and specialists are needed to reprogram it
After you must copy the memory of your FEM and transfer it to the new FEM and reprogram the car keys Last edited by sylver65; 07-11-2020 at 12:36 PM.. |

If you can't get any voltage from pin 52, I suggest you tap into the footwell lights 12V, which is pin 1, and connect the new wire on each side to the front and rear door connectors (male pins), and connect the door handle LEDs to the ground connector at each door and the wire you just added. With this wiring configuration, you don't need to swap your FEM.
Hi mate, did you manage to get the ambient light working on your vehicle? I hope so. Last edited by zatelli; 07-11-2020 at 01:05 PM.. |

I have used 3x resistors per wire of 820 Ohms each. Also, you can use single 2000 Ohm resistor per wire.
