Anyone know if DMP sends OBD programmer with the 64 color ambient light kit?

Just pick Buy without package separately option and check which parts you want below.

i meant on that part list there is no part for the centre console. It only lists vents and speakers.

wouldnt make sense that theyre selling everything else except the main centre part

I believe the 64 color ambient light is the center console and door inserts (stock MB option). All the other stuff are "extras"

Does anyone know if its still possible to retrofit if your car (MY2019) wasn't originally optioned with the 64 color ambient lights? Curious about where to tap for power and how to install the function into the infotainment system.

I purchased the ambient lights and air vents. Will be installing them next week along with the larger android screen. I will send pics and give a full description on installation. I bought mine from DMP as well. They send very helpful YouTube tutorials for installation.

Ordered my kit as well, just watched the videos before receiving them to see whats what, they arent the best but will definitely make due. i have to say though, they seem very helpful, even though i dont have the kit yet, i have been messaging them on whatsapp asking questions and they are answering immediately, even told me i could have a video call with their engineer to help with install if i need it. i only ordered the 64 light kit and front airvents though. no need for any of the others personally

You don't need the OBD programmer, i just watched the install video as i also ordered a kit and its legit plug and play, it is an involved install though from what the video shows

Hey sorry, it seems that these videos are unlisted by DMP so are onoy for people that bought the kits, for that I wont post it, like the videos show that pretty much anyone can do it, you just have to take your time and make sure everything is routed properly as with electronics so that you dont knick or cut a wire

Ah alright, makes sense then why you might need the OBD. i thought you already had at least the 3 colour ambient from factory

I’m curious if you convert from the 3 color to the 64, is it anywhere near as bright as the photos they show? My 3 color is quite dim, especially compared to the newer generation 64 color cars.

I had them in facelift. In pictures it looks much brighter, still cool in real, blue tones specially

Looks as I am going to join the trend here...got a deal I could not reject and will give it a try how it works. (pre facelift, will need the ODB adapter to enable the OEM control menue)

All right great news. Kit came in today and I just finished installing it. I ordered the 64 light kit and the front vents only as my upgrade. The new lights from DMP are much brighter than the stock ones and those vents lights are sexy. DMP does send you install videos that are very helpful but they leave the wire tucking to you and it’s not shown. One thing to be mindful of is that the install videos are for a right hand drive car. So when they are showing you the steps from the left side of the car you do them on the right. For the vent lights I found it easiest to remove my glove box (found a video on YouTube on how to do that) and was able to tuck the wires cleanly behind towards the center console. For the drivers side vent, I got the wire under the steering rack and using a fishing wire to hook it up towards the vent. All in all it took my and a friend around 5/6 hours but we took our sweet time and wanted to make sure everything was tucked cleanly. As I had the original 3 colour lights from mb, I didn’t have to do an obd flash. One thing I didn’t do was install the floor lights but I was lazy and tired by the end and you can barely see down there anyways. The car does look sweet now though on the inside. Photos attached below. One major thing I have to mention is DMP is super helpful and responsive, I messaged them on WhatsApp questions and would get an answer back very fast, they even offered a video call if I got stuck at all. Highly recommend dealing with them, they said package will take 10 days to get here, took 4 days using dhl to Canada (if we forget about the weekend lol).

Looks great. How hard was it to do the door lights? Did you have to take the entire door panels off and wire back to center console?
