Hi almost installed this but im stucked right now because... where is the front SAM connector?

RUNSGR8

Wondering about this also. I'm looking for the front SAM connector. Is that located in the engine bay? And if so, how would I route a wire from the center console to the engine bay? Thanks!

Stickan

Found it to the left of the OBD was a blue connector look at the photo

RUNSGR8

So how are you routing the cable from the center console to the SAM connector? If you can post some pictures of your install, I think it would be super helpful for people who buy the Aeroworkz Ambient Lighting system.

Stickan

I had no photos didnt take any have you looked at the installation guide from Aerowerkz? ill splice the wires from left b pillar with the ones from console under the steering wheel. There is space in the upper left under the air vents to put the wires

RUNSGR8

Gotcha. So the wires that go from the center console lighting tubes can be routed behind the trim pieces that go under the steering wheel? I'm getting my kit tomorrow, so I'm just trying to gather as much information as possible before I tear my dash apart.

Stickan

Yes its easy no problem with that. The hardest part of the whole install was the door trim metalclips ( u need 2 small screwdrivers) or something like that. Good luck with the install

RUNSGR8

Is this the front SAM connector? It's a blue connector that is to the left and above the OBD port. How do I remove it? Couldn't find any clips or grips on it. Thanks!

Stickan

Its the grey thing over the blue connector u have to pull it up and away u see what i mean if u try

RUNSGR8

Got the SAM connector up and running, thanks!

I can't get the lighting to work though. Where did you ground the center console?

Stickan

I used one of the brown cables from the original lamps inside console and that worked out perfect..have u run the program yet? Check out this video

RUNSGR8

Yeah I ran the program before I installed the lighting. I can see the Ambient Lighting menus and they are set to "Polar" and "5" for brightness.

Did you need to reconnect the entire console back together before being able to see the Lighting?

Stickan

I put everything back in place then i run the program and after that everything worked,,. didnt test it before that

Who did you buy the ambient kit from ? Aerowerkz or carphone?

How long did it take for you to fully install it?

Stickan

The ambient kit are the same Aerowerkz also buy from carphone. the install took about 6 hours for me the doortrim was the tricky part.

My kit should arrive next week, think I might just do the center console.....

Stickan

No go all the way not just the center console

Jesbran Silva

I'm sold! lol I lack patience so I'll be having a buddy help me out

Stickan

So he going to install everything? Not just the console? It´s not hard.. just take some time so let him try

Jesbran Silva

We will be double teaming the job, maybe I'm just overthinking.
I Spent some time watching YouTube videos last night and the hardest/time consuming part seems to be removing the door trim clips.

Stickan

Yes thats correct the rest is almost plugnplay

Jesbran Silva

Hey,

So I just received my kit and I have a couple questions, can please help shed some light before I set out on this install adventure.

- Are all the connectors for the doors the same? ( 4)
-Did you have to use loctite for the center console or only the doors?
-are any of you local and looking to make some cash for in person guidance no labor just direction? lol...... I'm half joking half serious on this question Riverside, CA
Thanks in advance.

Stickan

I dont remember how the front door cables look but the backdoors have only 2 pins at the end. And yes the loctite only for the doors i didnt use it for the console. And im in Sweden so i cant help you.

Jesbran Silva

Thanks! Just got the center console up and running, I will continue the door set up Tomorrow morning.

Jesbran Silva

Are you pushing in the black locking tube and spreading the ends of the clip or completely removing the metal clips?
