Hello friend, I do not want to remove the ambient light, what I want is to change its cable, my cable is three-color led and I want to change to 64, and the connection is inside, and the cable goes up inside, how do I do it?

Pablitoito,

I just installed this rear strip ambient light on my car (see photo) I agree with Shan16 above, you don't need to remove seat cover. As far as special tool, I just used my trim tools (see photo below) to pry the opening wide enough to slip in the wiring. I would imagine to repeat that process in reverse to remove wiring. Is the photo in the link you provided a photo of your car ? if so, I don't see what you're asking since I don't see anything there to remove. If not, then perhaps you could take a pic of your car. Anyways, here to help if you have any questions.

Hello, thank you very much for your help, that's what I want, but I throw it away and it doesn't open much, I'm afraid of breaking it.
They installed it but now I want to do it myself and change the cable.
Where did you upload it? How did you get it to the back of the center console?

https://ibb.co/RpZPhHR

I see that the cable goes under the seat and goes upwards but I see it complicated, how did you do it?
Tomorrow I send photos of mine.

Hey brother, I was terrified of the thought of doing this at first, but so glad I went ahead with it. I installed the kit after I saw a tutorial on YouTube from this guy I follow called Flexx Alexander. Not sure if you've heard or him or not but he's done a ton of mod videos on his W205 and recently did a 5-Part Ambient Light segment on his channel. The Rear Seat Ambient strip lights was part #5 of that series. You should go check him and his videos out . They answer all of your questions. Oh and the kit he uses in video is from a company in Asia called DMP car design. Flexx provides links in his videos of how to purchase. Lastly, go for it young man.

Hello friend,

Okay so, I am not 100% sure I understand your question. I don't think you can swap out one piece from one ambient kit and connect it to another but you might. If your question is how do you power it up, Well there are two ways that I know of. One way is to connect it direct to the main harness kit most likely stored above your drivers side footwell light and the other is to connect it to the rear turbine vents provided you already did that install. If you are wiring it up direct to the main harness you simply just run the wire along the center arm console and continue on to the main harness (see photo). If you've previously installed the rear turbine vents, you could connect it to that since there is already power running to the harness. My Rear Seat Ambient Strip wiring harness from DMP came with splitters built in so it connecting it to the rear vents was straight forward as easy as plug and play. Why dont you try texting your question to DMP Car design on WhatsApp to +60 17-607 1426. Just be advised of the time difference (located in Asia)

run wire under this panel from side of rear seat to front of car to the main harness

Thank you very much friend, it is currently connected to the rear vents and what I want is to change the 3 color cable for 64.
The problem is, I don't know how to run the cable from inside the seat (take it out from below) from the LEDs to the rear air vents.
I don't know how to get from the seat to the rear center console vents.
How do I go from point 1 to 2?

I don't know what you mean by dividers.

Amigo, as you can see in the attached photos the wire from the Ambient Strip can clearly be seen. I meant to cover them with black electric tape but glad I didn't so you can see them. Once you remove the rear vent cover you can connect them to the rear turbine for power quite easily. send me a private message if you have additional questions.
