Mercedes w213 Ambient lights

Hey, im new her, so Im not sure, that i ask at the right place. Because Im not good in English, but Herr is my quastion.

I have a Mercedes S213. E220d 2017.
I have Audio 20. And i have no ambient lights in my car. But if i look there it should be, it looks like the led list is there. but there is no setting on this in the menu where it should be. This is something you can find in the Eating mode, or can be coded with Star

I believe that all of the E's come standard with the ambient lights as that was a named feature for the debut of the new E. Click on the car icon in the menu (right of the clock) and you should see Ambient Lighting as a feature. Hope this helps.

What you are seeing is not the LEDs, but the light guide - a clear plastic strip that guides the light from a single LED at the end of each strip through the whole trim piece. Sadly, you may or may not have the actual LEDs. There is just one at the end of each strip.

Maybe try a VIN decoder site to see if Ambient Lighting is listed as an option. DataMB.com works here in USA. I'm not sure about elsewhere.
Also on US cars, you can adjust ambient lighting by pressing the console button with the car icon (to the right of the analog clock on US cars). and selecting it from the menu.
Good luck.

Hello there, did you manage to figure out if the led stip is the ambient lighting? I have same car I can see the strip but on the vehicle setting on the dashboard there is no option for the ambient lighting. Any update?

.
The strip is just a plastic tube. If you actually have ambient lighting there will be an LED attached to one end of the tube.
