Hello, I'm new to this forum and hoping someone can help me out. I've been trying to update the ambient light menu in my W213 E-class from standard 64 colour/3 zones to the newer multicolour mode. I use LAUNCH to code and managed to get the new menu on my command. The problem I'm now facing is, when I try to change the colour, nothing is happening. Also, the ambient light turns off after around 2 minutes of driving. Is there anyone who might be able to help me with this. I think it has something to do with the parameters, but I'm not sure.

 

did you already code the alc213 ecu ? you also need to code that ecu (ambient light control) for it to work properly

 

Hello
I'm looking to do this update also.. can you help?

 

Yes I did, but I need the correct parameters to make it work..

 

​​​​​​I will keep updating it here. Hopefully I can find/copy the right parameters! If I find them I can help you.

 

Thank you

 

save variant coding and flash attached file to ALC213 and reapply variant coding in case it goes missing, should do the trick. also dont forget to backup current sw version

 

Thank you so much man!! I will give it a try tomorrow. Would you by any chance be able to create a -.txt file of this so I can go thru it? Can't open it on my phone right now..

 

I’m also looking to make this change myself. May I know what tool I need to do this ? Newbie here as well. Thanks

 

I'm an mid life crisis noob when it comes to all of this. But I've seen this ambient light upgrade and have been interested in this for some time. What equipment is needed to make this change? How is it done? I need childish instruction! HAHAHA

 

same here bump!! i just got the software updated from dealer to 6.80... in my 2017 e300 i see the new ambient light settings but nothing net new - it has only those colors and zones which was already there in a different style and format!

 

would you be kind enough to post a picture of what your menu, light settings look like? I'm curious!

 

FYI.... I have the analog speedo. Does this play a part in upgrading to this lighting package?

 

please see the picture... mine has a dual lcd (digital speedo)

 

Maybe this is why
Thank you very much!

 

You need multi color coding software update for that. Dealer will not do it. You need to find someone to do it. There is a guy who sells a ODB Dongle for that. Check YouTube

 

Hi there. Is this for older models? THX
