Red Flashing Ambient Door Lights

RSnic · 05-02-2021, 10:06 AM

Hi,

I ran across this video for a 2021 G30 5-series:

Was wondering if anyone has run across how to code this feature into a G20?

Appreciate your thoughts

I think my G20 flash (red) when engine is running and when door is opened. Or did I miss something in the video?

This, but would be cool if we could add it as an ambient color

It's a standard feature in my G20 in my country.

Presumably it's red for a purpose, red for danger, to differentiate from your normal ambient colour. Unless of course you've coded red as an ambient colour, then I could understand you needing to change it.

Yup. It's standard in America too. RSnic. There's no need to code it. It's already present in our cars.

My bad!! In fact, my car does flash red the ambient lights in the door when open

Oops!

The red (for danger) flashing ambient lighting when a door is open was standard on my English spec. M340i.
