Is this normal?

What year is your X5?

Just enter search for the following in expert mode. AMBIENT_FARBE_ENSEMBLE

Have you successfully coded the newer software? I have a 15 and was trying to use the same codes on my bros 18. The only one that took was lilac, but I used CF on the first three layers, didn't use the three different hex codes others appear to be using. Did you use the three different codes? I won't be able to try again until this weekend.

Before dealer updated my software, mine looked like your pic, allowing to simply choose from set colors written in German. After update the ensembles went to RGB hex layout.

It's produced in 06/2018

I was able to successfully code all the desired colors today. I took a screenshot in BimmerCode. As previously stated, just search for ambient and you'll see the layers... the picture below show the sixth option, you only need to change the values on the first three lines.

Been struggling to get my red ambient lights back and it finally took, lost it over a year ago after new SW.

I tried Color selector for a bright red color, but it turns pink in the leda.

Does anybody know what the hex code is for hellrot/bright red? I am using FF/00/00 and that is red but not the bright red that used to be codeable from drop downs.

MK2018 · 05-28-2019, 08:23 PM

I'm getting software update on my X5, I hope I will be able to code new colours after that

MK2018 · 05-29-2019, 10:26 PM

After software update no problem with changing colours

The only thing we can't get back is blinker coding.

Few times when in reverse I had black screen, took picture every time it happened and show them, service department figures it needs software update.

I couldn't resist

DAWID042814 · 05-31-2019, 08:19 PM

Anyone tried with E-SYS? My car got the latest update, but still different in 3070 and 3076. Here's my CAFD file: https://files.fm/u/bw326yus

MK2018 · 06-01-2019, 09:40 PM

Is there any way to adjust ambient light brightness with BimmerCode?

Other than coding the brightest version of a specific color, no way that I know of.

Icetrd4 · 06-08-2019, 04:27 PM

Hello , i am follow your instruction. But i can’t change the ambient light color. The program show “unknown” not show more color. I use e-sys 3.27 and psdzdata 4.17.30 lite version. How can i do it thank you so much.
