If you use BimmerCode "easy" mode; you can only change Bronze setting. If you go to expert mode you can change ALL presets as I did in my G30

You can see how it works in some of my videos that I've shared here before:


You can even add gradual change effect:


Search for Ambiente parameter under BDC and add RGB color codes manually for each LED part for each R,G, and B color as hexadecimal. It takes some time since there are a lot of parameters to update for each preset

That looks amazing!! I'm struggling to find the preset menu... and which parameters should change?

But as I remember rear lights are coded separately. I tried it once to code only contour lines and only fronts changed

I'm boring when it comes to the ambient lighting. I just keep it on white. I like a nice combo of fancy and subtle.

I spent some time searching and apart from this thread and the linked video, I haven't found details on how the color rotation/animation can be accomplished. Would love to be able to do this with my '23 G05.

How can I code the ambient lighting to change colors automatically (gradual change)?

I used ProTool to code mine. I just replaced the Bronze and Bronze/White entries with these. I pretty much run green and yellow all the time. Looks pretty cool at night, these pics are in daylight.

Protool doesn't seem to be working for me after recent software update (2022/11). Whenever I go into ambient lighting color menu the app crashes

Reach out to ProTool via their Facebook Group or Messenger. They are very responsive.

Something about purple lights against black leather/trim just looks so good.

It’s funny, I never run that combo. I like it, but I like the yellow and green better.

Probably time to change it up. It’s been a year or so running that.

What do you mean by gradual changes?
