I have an Audio 20 as well. Where did you buy your ambient light system?

I purchased mine from GZCarphone a while back. I might have seen them cheaper on eBay recently. No wire splicing involved. The toughest part for me was gluing on the door panel light.

The light color can be controlled by the Mercedes Command control button, with 3 colors (Ice Blue, Classic Orange and Sparkle Silver) and 5 levels brightness for options.

Any one interested in it with any questions can contact with us by email: sales@gzcarphone.com;

Product link & video is here: http://www.gzcarphone.com/mercedes-b...s-glc_p44.html






Hello,
I just had the ambient kit installed and the OBD programmer is not working! It doesn't light up and after trying several times, the shop said it must be faulty!
Can you please send me another programmer?

If u have Audio20 and the small screen you should look at the vid of post #27. It shows how to use the obd programmer. If u have Command with the bigger screen it won’t work.

Hi, I have a client who has fitted the Ambient lighting, he has an 8“ screen so needs the Mercedes-Benz Xentry SCN coding that I can do for him. Did you know what the 3 digit sales code number is to add ambient lighting? Cheers, Howard

Was anyone able to find a shop that will code the unlock ambient for COMAND system with the 8 inch screen? Or a OBD that works?

I installed my before from another company, here in Markham ON. For me, all they need to know is if you have ambient light control as an option with the 3 light option. For me, I had this and installed the 64 colour option in my car and I could control it by toggling the Comand *** and it would cycle through all the colour options. I did not need a dongle but I did have to connect the main module to CAM open port, which is located on the passenger floor side.


Of course I also installed the air ducts. For the door, I did not have to remove my door lights, I just had to unplug my lights and install the lights with a module in the door. Everything is installed, no splicing, just plug and play.
