I’ve only recently gotten my S550 but I’ve been modifying it to how I want and I’m happy to say my ambient install was a huge success.

quality of the vents in your hands feel just as good as OEM and they have nice clicks from it, they light up very nice and IMO they elevate the interior so much more.

got them on AliExpress I’ll leave the link before the AC vents delivered in about 10 days or less the Tweeters took another week I think they shipped them later but they delivered yesterday which I immediately contacted my electronic shop who charged me $900 dollars and did a perfect job not even a single smudge of their hand on the wood or anywhere.

super happy with the install and I took a few photos below.

I have the 7 color ambient colors and each color works perfect I just have the purple at the moment.

looks great, out of curiosity are the rear entertainment screens oem or aftermarket? I've been looking into options to modernize my rear screens and just have a firestick installed these days.

The color tone looks different and not uniform.
Not my cup of tee.

The screens are (2) Fire HD Plus Tablets. Ill link everything I bought below since my OCD pays off when I have a project in my head lol.
The USB-C cables are 10 foot and I run them in the seat super easy and since Ive taken apart the center console for carplay all I did was run them into the center console.

I had another idea at the time using the plug outlet ill link that specific cord and then just plug you your charger and you hide the cord under the center console at the back where the plug is and run the cables at the sides of the seats
I found this mount to work best with the ones i bought keeps the tablet closest to the headrest so its not in your face

this is my current method I run this in the center console under USB2 it's a slow charger regardless even though I bought a 3.0 Hub

This is the USB-C cable I wanted a 90 degree cable so when plugged into the fire tablets its much more flush and the cable shoots down


Lastly this is the plug I bought I ended up returning since i chose the center console way but for my black armrest this blends good its 2 prong and then i just put it under the center console where the 2 screws are and I can just add a charger and run the USbc same as i have now.

Yeah might not be for everyone but in the car itself it matches as closest to OEM and my eyes judging by first impression I don't see any off coloring to the MB ambient and after taking the OEM vents off and seeing they are in fact just plastic pieces I feel good knowing I didn't lower the standard of quality from one to the other.
