Can hardly wait for you to hook them up and see how they work. Curious to see if they are independent or in conjunction with the lighting modes. Love to add a pair as well.

Has anyone tried OEM units frrom CLS/E-coupe?

I'm really not thrilled with the idea of adding aftermarket units unless there is no other option. Has anyone tried to get the OEM dash vents from CLS or E-coupe (my 19+) to work on their w205?

Ambient

Did you get it installed? Please tell me will it create any problem to the car? Do it void warranty?

Ok, they are cheap enough now to do the rear vents. Seller sent me the wrong cable. 64 colors. I need 3 color cable.

Hi,
I also received the simillar cable for GLC 3 colors. I believe the cable should be 3 wires instead of 4 wires for ambient 3 colors. Unfortunately i have received no response from seller.
Did you confirm that the wires as in your photo is wrong ?

Thanks

Yes, I've done numerous ambient installs in my car they are all just 3 wires. 4 is an rgb cable. You can test using a 9 volt battery. I believe yellow is ground and others are positive.

I opened an Aliexpress dispute for $25 refund and bought a MB 3 color led cable.

Part# 2535409609 $30

Btw, where did you buy the cable ? Is it OEM ?

Awesome job guys. I have just received my 64 colour kit to plug into my original 64 colours. I have the vents and door pilar tweeters.

My question before I start pulling things about is where exactly dose the main vent controller install.
Is it in the footwell fuse box? Which fuse hole for the 12v do I use? And where dose it plug into the original system Cam plug in?

I received this image from my ALIexpress vendor but I'm still a litte unsure as I haven't yet pealed any carpet back.

Sorry.

My car is only 3 color ambient, which only had a control box for the rotating led tweeters. That box plugged into the door controller. #6 port. All led vents came with 3 wires and I just tapped into existing ambient wires for those.

It would help if you posted a good picture of your 64 color harness and explained what you are doing a bit better.

Those pictures were supplied by the vendor

So these are the cables I'm querying. Can the power v12 fuse go in any available hole in the foot well fuse box?
And dose the CAN cable Conect to an existing oem box near the fuse box, where the original led are connected as its unclear from the vendors pictures?

beautiful bro! Just bought the rear vents as well to complete the whole aesthetic of the car☺️

I have the 64 color full ambient light ( + front air vents ),
really wanted to do the rear vents by myself, But I have no idea how the process works. Where do i need to plug the rears in order for them all to sync?

(very noobie electrically wise, but also very much addicted to adding mods to my w205)

Thanks brother!

It all depends on what cable they sent you.

There are 4 wire ambient RGB lights under the seats (in back underneath) with connectors.

If they sent you plug and play Y cables you can use those and plug the connector into that.

Otherwise you may need to solder like i did.

thank you for the fast reply!

Where exactly under the seats? If it’s not too much trouble, would love a pic/diagram of the exact location

thank you benzdude
