There are new version available, that does not take up OBD space. Also it can be controlled via BT with your phone or via COMAND knob in the original factory ambient light menu.
the later control method is achieved by activating ambient light menu with OBD adaptr. After actuvation, it can be removed.

So what you're saying is that if I already installed the Ambient kit that was sold to me by DMP, rather than using the Steering Wheel controls, I can buy your Ambient Menu ODB to get it to appear on my COMAND menu and use the COMAND knob??? If that's the case, SIGN ME UP SIR! Lol please confirm before I do make the purchase.

Unfortunately the kit by DMP is different type. That kit, only works with steering wheel via OBD plugged in. It has no ability to synchronize with original ambient light menu on comand menu.
Our kit is not a "add-on".
if you want to change to the new version, you have to replace the entire thing.

Damn, If I only knew about your company last year. I would've just bought your kit. But since I already went through the trouble of removing/installing... I'll just stick it out with DMP. Can't say anything against them, the kit is working properly.

No more harness, it uses BT for the ambient light now

Hey! Got a similar kit from DMP with the mirror control. Do you know if there is a sequence of buttons to control the lights? I cannot get mine to react, have installed the driver side door and footwells per the comments on here. Thanks - car is a 2017 C300, coupe, W205 USA

Was also wondering if anyone knows / has experienced the ambient lights from DMP not turning off after the car is powered off? Thanks.

Does it light up? If the buttons aren't reacting, make sure the window lock button isnt on.

Hello, do you have a wiring diagram for this ambient light kit you are selling?

Can you please share?

I think you should look after your existing customers before trying to get more to swindle. I make this accusation with careful thought. I bought the following items from you for my C63 W205:
1. 5 front AC vents 64 colors - ⭐Mercedes-Benz GLC C Class 3/64 Color LED Ambient Light AC Vent Outlet C63S W205 | eBay
2. 2 rear AC vents 64 colors - ⭐Mercedes 64 Color AC Rear Vent Ambient Light LED C E GLC W205 W213 SEDAN C63S | eBay
3. 3 to 64 colors wiring harness for 4 doors, footwell and the centre console - ⭐Mercedes-Benz GLC/C SEDAN From 3 to 64 Color Upgrade Kit Ambient light FOOTWELL | eBay

It has been weeks since I have been writing to you on Ebay but not even a single response. None of the door kits work. They are all fairly straight forward but no light from your harness.

The AML module (main module) where wires from the centre console, foot well lights and AC vents get plugged does NOT work. No wiring instructions were provided and you are unresponsive. It took me time and research to figure out the installation details of your kit but all in vain.

Now I am posting queries in other threads hoping to find a way to get these useless wires you sold me to work! I am not hopeful because the door wiring was pretty straight forward and it did not work!

While I am a new member on this forum I have been a car enthusiast for a long time. After spending 4 full days trying to figure your product out, yesterday I unplugged everything and went back to stock. My 2 cents to other members who are interested in buy from this person. I think that there are many variations of these aftermarket products. Some wires get plugged to the OBD port, others go into the Canbus rail and some even need an IR remote to work. IMO it is almost impossible to succeed in installing them without basic support from the seller and this seller does not even respond to messages!

I only did the footwell, center and door lighting but for your front air vents, you should have additional connectors availble for you to connect those air vent lights to that main OBD Harness. You should take a look at Flexx's videos on youtube. He does a pretty good job explaining how everything gets connected and does a walk through on how to install everything.

Did you receive a little obd flash box as well I can’t seem to get my kit working
