Around the Cockpit is too much, my opinion. But well done bro.

After watching this a billion times and slow planning I'm proud to say I installed mine on all doors and dashboard. I actually tapped my lights to the passenger foot well light so that they turn on just from me unlocking or opening the door, it really adds so much to already walk into nicely lit cabin. I did have to use vcds to code the mmi screen to have foot well light option so that they are always on. Thanks a ton for the info, it helped a lot when I was confused

@tristaaaaan3473 5 ай бұрын

That's actually smart... But that means the controllers in the door are 24/7 powered? Because if you put them on ignition, they are off when opening the car and there is no power in the door controlled by the footwell light.

@tubbycustard8866 5 ай бұрын

@@tristaaaaan3473 the footwell lights are on when you open the car doors and then I had to use VCDS to code ambient lighting within the MMI screen so that they remained on while driving. the door controllers receive signal from the main dashboard controller so no its not powered 24/7. i haven't had any issues with my setup

Hi mate, great videos. I've recently installed some led strips similar to yours and hooked them up to the doors exactly as you've done. Unfortunately, 1 week after, not just that the door modules do not light anymore, also the LEDs that light up the door switches stopped lighting+ leds from central console(that surround the shifter). Do you have any idea what could have happened? As you have installed quite a few of these led strips, could they be drawing too much electricity from the door handles so that a fuse popped?The main module works just fine, it is just the door modules. Any idea would be highly appreciated as I do not know what to do. Edit: the next day, the door handles led came back up but the sub-modules do not light up, is there any way to reset the sub-modules?

@_.mustafaahmed22 Жыл бұрын

So with the kit, you get 6 strips but 4 control modules for the door trims and dashboard. And then a module for the footwell. So how would you wire up the dashboard with only 4 modules. Cos each module would be for each door. But you’d need a separate one for the dash but it doesn’t come with extra. So how do you combat this? Do you wire the dash to the footwell module or?

@mrgcc Жыл бұрын

Sure so the main module has the footwells and the 2 dash strips with it. So there are 5 modules where 4 are in the doors and the 5th is in the centre for the dash and footwells

getting a bit confused about the variety of links in your description.. if i wanted to have a full kit, (except for door handle and storage lights) extra long for dashboard, connectors etc.. what kit do i buy? and also, i would just need solid color. this exact car.

@mrgcc 11 ай бұрын

sure sorry about the confusion, this video might help explain the difference between all the kits: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8iBgcqAmtqcZ5c.html but from what you mentioned there, you would need a minimum of this kit: ebay.us/yDsImt You might need to order an extra strip (ask on eBay) and that way you can also get the extra strip across the passenger side of the dash.

@@mrgcc im not criticising your work, clearly you know what you are doing, so don't take personal offence, but if these led strips are just squeezed into the gaps between trim panels (gaps which often are too small or not even there if the cars interior is fitted well), then to me they look like a hack of a job, totally out of place, like they shouldn't be there. i would prefer my car not to have them at all, than to have ones fitted like that. I'd consider it "great" if it looked like it came like that from factory

Do t do it lights are from china and work for less than a day mine did. There are sold under generic name rgb. But they are from china. Symphony means nothing except color of lights. But don’t be fooled they are not American made but from china. So yeah they look cool. Is it worth the hassle of pulling them back out. NO furthermore you’ll notice when researching they only show cars with straight lines on dash or a very slight curve. 90 degree angle forget about. Also the rgb halo are exactly the same thing but charge you $259 for the word halo. You’ll notice on the website they say fiber optic. But the pics are led strips. Two different things. Total scammer.
