Door light is a different shade

All,

Wondering if anyone else has run into this: I coded layer 1 of my ambient lights to dark blue (darkenblau or whatever), but for some reason the passenger door is displaying the lighter icenblau. I can change it to red or green or violet and they all match, but when I go dark blue, the color is "off".

Thinking about resetting my head unit, but not sure if anyone else has had this problem.

Thanks!

Saw this on other coding thread(credit:Almaretto) with the color value. Not sure if that works though.
If anyone has time to try and report back, that will be great.

I'm coding my 2016 F15, and I was able to change these colors, but it seems like every time I make a change, the ambient lighting locks up for a long time. For example, whatever it was set to, changing the scheme in iDrive has no effect. Seems like I have to wait an hour in between. Is this normal?

Right now I have no ambient lights at all and I'm going back to my car every so often to check it, but if I keep turning the car on, am I just extending the wait?

Also, anyone know what this does:
AMBEINTE_FARBE_NICHT_FAHRBEREIT Not ready for driving H-Farbwert (Color Value) Werte=02

Hello. My BMW X1 F48 has two color options in the iDrive settings: White and Orange. Does this tutorial enables the other colors for my car?

I'd start in the X1 forum brother. Not sure if X5 and X1 coding is the same but I'm sure it's not too different. So yes. But know it doesn't work if you have newer software from the dealer.

I am having a hard time choosing my interior light colours. When I go to the sections to change the color values, it does not indicate colour values. Instead it shows "unknown" or unknown unknown". Has anyone ran into this problem?

Here’s how to update the ambient with updated bdc_body.

Here is my coding for ambient lighting color changes on the updated BDC_BODY ECU.

So, for some reason I can only get the channel to show up in Bimmercode and not in Esys, I have tried searching for the exact channels in Esys but they do not pull anything up, but here is the path:

BDC_BODY->Expert Mode->3076 DG_3076
This will pull up all of the ensemble groups and layers just like the previous versions but now each layer is split into an R, G & B channel. As a reminder, only 1-9 Ensemble groups are used in the F15 and only layers 1-3 (1-door contour line, 2-armrest area, 3-footwell).

To change the color of a layer each layer you have to set the RBG color parameters in Hexadecimal, which could potentially lead to infinite color options, as you could choose any RGB combo and convert the numbers to hexadecimal.

For instance, if you wanted a Red color you would just make the R channel FE (255) and leave the other channels at 00. Here is one website where you can choose your RGB color, https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_rgb.asp then take those RGB Values to this site http://hextodecimal.com/index.php and find the corresponding Hex number and just plug that hex in for the werte value for each corresponding R G B channel in bimmercode.

Here are the Wertes for the three colors I've figured out that match the previously pre-selectable ones:

MINT (Gruen):
R: 10
G: FE
B: 32

DYNAMIC BLUE (Blau):
R: 00
G: 42
B: FE

LILAC (Flieder):
R: 78
G: 3C
B: FE

Voila! Now it's not a curse to have the updated BDC_BODY but a blessing because we are no longer limited to pre-selected colors and can create whatever color you'd want!

Can you take some screen shots from the app. This will help a lot more. And thanks. Hope this actually works.

Yes, I should be able to get around to that tomorrow, in the mean time have you searched for “ensemble” that should also locate it

Ensemble doesn't exist under 3076 for me. This is all that shows.

However the only place ensembles still exist is in 3071 and in there is where the "update" did the damage. No longer are their the same number or ensembles. And no longer can you change parameters. It's all unknown parameter.

How many numbers does the 3076 channel go down to? Also will you send a screenshot of the 3071 channel?

225 or something like that. It's a lot.

And not at the moment. Maybe in a day or so when I get back into coding. Not a fan of the app and how long it takes to load the ecu. Especially the BDC. And then I lose connection to my car gate WiFi all the time which frustrates me even more lol.

That is frustrating, maybe you'll be able to locate it in esys, mine didn't turn up anything when I tried in there.
