UPDATE: Looks like DMP just started shipping out a newer, better version of the kit. If you are plugging into the OBD and it’s not working, it’s because the new kit has to be attached to the door side mirror control. That’s how the light for the new kit is controlled to test the light. If you have questions, please contact DMP for support.

@alexxcccc Год назад

hi, just wanted to ask if my car already has 3 colors do I have to add no ambient ligthing when ordering?

@TheFlexxGarage Год назад

I’m not sure. I say ask DMP so you can get the right kit.

@aj4all2c Год назад

@@alexxcccc To confirm what you have, simply do a quick removal of your center console and see if the 2 plastic fiber tubes are installed. If you don't see them then your vehicle does not have ambient lighting.

@davidrowe5822 Год назад

Ahhhh...Thank you for pinning this to the top. My kit came with BOTH OBD and side mirror wire harnesses. I was doing a lot of head scratching but I figured it out once I read this. I will not be using the OBD connector (which is good. I don't like messing with that port)

@manyu79 3 года назад

Hey Flexx, I really appreciate this video as I've always regretted not having this Ambient option on my c300 2017 coupe from factory. Now my wish came true and placed the order and ready to install from your knowledge!

@manyu79 3 года назад

Flexx, I have a question. DMP just told me that the door panel light strip is only available for 4 doors and not for my coupe. The coupe panel trim is a lot shorter vs. the 4 door so do you think I can cut the light strip to make it fit? What is your recommendation? Or am I going to just end up only installing the center console and foot well?

@husamkwaik 4 года назад

Thanks Flexx for the video! I'm just wondering if that the steering wheel buttons will still function as before or they'll just be for controlling the lights? And what happens if i disconnect the OBD, can i still use the app?

@TheFlexxGarage 4 года назад

Buttons work the same. If you disconnect the OBD2, the entire kit won’t power on. Remember, you don’t really need to disconnect the OB2 connector because the main harness comes with a second OB2 connector if you ever wanna plug in like a code reader or something else. I’m not sure what you mean by app since these lights aren only controlled by the steering wheel buttons. There’s no app to my knowledge.

@byronflores2001 2 года назад

If you guys are struggling with the new kit and or not having no light results when plugged into OBD disconnect the OBD and make sure to do that last . Set up your left passenger side mirror control once you do that you’ll see lighting from there you can continue onto plugging your OCB etc.
