Just be sure to follow the instructions because the biggest danger is having the ECU power off unexpectedly while coding it. Also, if you haven't purchased an OBD2 adapter yet, be sure to get one that's fully compatible with your car. The Bimmercode site has that info. |

I'd like to make all of my ambient lights red - can you point me in the direction of where I could find instructions for that? Or is it a matter of poking around until I find what I'm looking for? |

If you only care about making all of your lights red, you only need to code one color on the iDrive menu. Bimmercode may allow you to code the first color only (bronze) without using Expert Mode but I'm just working from memory here. The RGB code for full red is FF0000 (Red=FF, Green=00, Blue=00.) Look in the Body Domain Controller (BDC) for Ambient Lighting coding and plug in FF0000 for all of the values in the first menu option - there may be up to four of them. Feel free to share a screenshot if it's not clear how to do this.

I custom coded mine with ProTool. I just replaced Bronze and Bronze and White. ProTool offers a menu where you just pick the colors for the four zones and press "code". I have not messed with four different colors for each zone. That's a little much.

I agree, ProTool is definitely the way to go for coding ambient lighting. Strange though, it doesn't let you code the last few colors on the menu; still need expert mode for that.

I am using ProTool with the bimmergeek bluetooth connector. On my ambient light screen I can only edit "upper" and "lower" layers. How did you configure four layers? expert mode?

I have a 2023 530e (G30) Bimmercode guys told me that you can not do dual color (contour color) because it is an LCI model. Bummer. It worked awesome in my 2018 530e. But not the 2023. Does anyone know if ProTool can do it? I just bought ProTool, but don't see anything anyplace to change ambient lighting. I'm most likely looking in the wrong place. Thoughts anyone?

So let me get this old brain straight on this. You download Pro Tool or Bimmer Utility to lets say a laptop then hook it up to the OB port via the special cord and proceed?
