How to activate Rainbow mode on your BMW ambient light strip
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Im about to teach you guys how to turn your bmw ambient lights to Rainbow Road mode like mario! I know it sounds crazy haha but its pretty easy to do just takes 10-15 minutes and some patience. Check out how I do it in the video and see if you can follow along easily. You can do this to most modern BMW's that have ambient light strip function!
Heres an amazon link to the ENET cable and adapter I used: ENET cable: www.amazon.com...

I’ve been wondering if this was even possible! Good look bro!!!🔥🔥🔥
Glad I could help
coding on 4% , that’s ballsy
app backs everything up before coding starts
Why ballsy bro???
@@SG-zw8bb bc if his device died in the middle of the process hed have to start over
@@user-rf2fv6tf1p Can something break or can you just try again and then everything is fine or go back to the old setting???
@@SG-zw8bb you could definitely screw something up if it dies in the middle of coding. however before you start anything the app creates a backup, hypothetically youd be able to restore & try again but its not even worth the risk.
Just wondering if you knew how to fix the issue where on my 2017 750i, the rear tablet (chauffeur package) says waiting to scan QR code? I have the car updated and its the only way to control the screens on the back of the front seats? Thanks, also great vid definitely about to try it for my lighting
From Bimmerpost: I found that you need to go into iDrive, go into the Communication menu, make sure WIFI is enabled, and then go into Manage Mobile Devices. There you should see your samsung tablet (Touch Command), click on it and it should pair with the tablet. If its not in the menu you need to add it, select Touch Command and pair it with the tablet. It should be working now.
@@limitless.M5 Thanks for replying, the problem is, it doesnt pop up nor can i do anything with the tablet as it just stays on the camera and says scam qr code to connect to vehicle. I’ve tried everyway to bypass this screen on the tablet but it just wont budge
So, I somehow had my car do the RGB cycling very slowly, it would stay in each color for like at least 10 seconds before changing to the next preset. The bottom strips also functioned. I'm not sure how it started doing this, but I changed the color to white and since then it hasn't gone back to the cycling mode. I came across this video to research how to get it back to doing that again, and your method activates only the top strip and cycles through the RGB pretty fast. Weird thing is, mine was doing the cycling with the coding set to rgb_layering instead of toggle. So there is a way to get the car to cycle slowly without losing the ambient lighting on the bottom strips. I'm just not sure how to get it back to doing that again.
Good info
Thank you so much for this vid man
You bet
Your digital speedometer, is it custom, retrofit or a new skin ? Seems bigger and better than my 2021 lci 520d screen. Thanks and I'll be trying this rainbow effect soon !
Mine was the stock cluster idk
Hi, i watched your videos and youre doin good job bro. One question, i have also g30 2017. And dont know what enet cable should i buy ? Can you please tell me wich one should I buy to work with bimmer code.
Literally any with good 4-5 star review
Also thank you
Your G30 has the exact issue with mine where the top strip light has faded on the ends
Alot of them do this. Take out the light strip and buff it with meguiars polish
It literally only started after I coded it with bimmercode
@@limitless.M5 Yeah I did that but it came back to the same again after several months which sucks
@@danielson1989its fucking lame they were working perfect until I spent $50 on bimmer code and wanted some extra colors. Now the lights are dim.
@@danielson1989 what the fuck does the polish do??? I just tore out the dash and unplugged everything TWICE thinking it would like hard reset the lights but nothing.
Thank you for videos (how to) not many vids we have about G30 so waiting for your new ones . Clicking subscribe 🎉 !!!!
I like to play mysic even i go out of the car but then it stops for some reason. Do you know how to code it to stay on until i lock the car pleaseeee
I don’t think you need coding for that, the music is stopping probably because you took the key in your pocket. If it sits in the car and you get out the audio should continue
Nice tip
I coding that, but can I do the same for bottom strips?
Not for bottom
Can you make other videos with d things to code. I got a 2017 540i and I dunno what other features to code that would make the fact I bought BimmerCode feel worth it lol I’ve seen a couple of your vids.
tbh I ran out of shit to code too lol. watch my video on improving the audio system
I have an F90 LCI. How does it work say if I have other colors coded in? Can I say go to 1 of my other solid colors and then when I want rainbow I can just turn the ambient lighting off and back on and it will go to rainbow? Then off and back on again and select whatever solid color I'm wanting?
Mine isn’t LCI, so yours may operate differently. When I cycle on and off it either goes to rainbow or it goes to a random color that you have coded in. But in short the static color is not selectable but random instead.
Bro, I tried setting the RGB_mit_toggle mode in my 2023 G30, unfortunately it doesnt seem to be working for me. The light remains a solid color. I rechecked the code and it is still set to RGB_mit_toggle, but no cycling of lights. Such a cool effect but its not working for me :( Has anyone else seen the same with their 2023 G30?
If you haven’t figured this out already, try the coding again. Then go to your idrive menu ambient lighting and cycle it on and off it will start changing colors.
Can’t get this to work on my 23 G20 either. Seems like idrive 8 changed things.
@@CalvinDabrowski this doesn't work on my 2019 G05
@@limitless.M5 worked in my 2017 G11 thanks bro
hey do you have any idea as to why it shows the rainbow lights when the engine is off with all doors closed, but the second i turn on the engine the lights just completely turn off?
Go in I drive turn ambient lights on then off
If i have an f32 can i use this to change the color from like red to blue or purple if it has the lighting?
Yes. But you will have to go in expert coding and type in the hex code for the color you want. Bit more complicated. There’s only certain colors pre programmed into the car.
Aye bro did you have to buy the full version of the app to get into expert mode or can you do this with free version
Full version
How did you unlock the dim for night driving option?!?
Update i-level of the car. most 2017 will have this dimmed option already but if not update the ilevel
How can I make the bottom part highlight too?
Can’t unless the lights are static
Bro this fire 🔥 I got a G07 bmw X7 x40i 2020 can I do the same ?
It’s possible yes follow the video for same results
Hey so I try and it didn’t work :-( why is that ?
Can you tell me how I could fix it 2020 bmw x7 x40i
I need help! I accidentally clicked fast boot image on INPA now my screen stuck on bmw logo. Anyone know to fix this? Can this app work? 😩
Not sure about inpa
Thanks bro
Any way to change the color of the odometer panel too? It only lights white during the day and orange at night
Not unless custom LEDs are installed in the odometer panel
Hi, I recently bought bmw g30 5 series 2019. Id6. I tried your way to change colours but it doesn’t work that way. Os there any other way to get it done or any troubleshooting that might help
No troubleshooting that I know of. The 2019 has different head unit and more advanced BDC than pre lci
Works on bmw 540i 2022?
Should
Can I do this on my 2022 M550i?
Can I do this on my 2022 X7??.. or may be add different colors for ambient lights??? Like red for example??.. thanks!
Yep u can!
To add colors you’ll need to convert colors to hex codes and replace your existing colors with custom hex codes under expert mode
@@limitless.M5 and what I need to do that??.. thanks in advance!!!.. i would like to do it… tired of same green, orange, bronze, etc etc colors… 😒😒😒
@@limitless.M5Hi So we can change the factory colours do different? I know bronze We can change but i thought the rest is not possible!? In BodyDomain Which Option to select LCI Master then Color?
how do
you code it back to
normal
Choose RGB Layerying that should do it
That or use one of the stock backup files that BimmerCode saves
Will this work on the f15?
No but you can code f15 to be a different color
Is it possible to add new colours ? G30 2021
Yes you must go in expert mode-find the rgb colors list which will be color hex color codes.
I’ve done it on a 7 series but it didn’t work and now the bottom one isn’t bright
Is your 7 series G12? Should work. Re check steps. Turn on and off ambient lights in idrive sometimes that works
Can you make them brighter ?
No mine are just worn some new will look brighter
I need this for f10 bmw!!!
Not possible
do all 318d have ambient lighting?
No
mine cycled initially but when i went back later it stopped. now it's frozen on one color
Go in I drive and turn off ambient lighting then turn back on again. Should work
I went back and watched your video and noticed how you did it. Thanks for replying.
Can you get the bottom light strips to work too?
Nope
Will try it later , I'm G20 2020 330i
@@kevinlee4603 bro is the rainbow ambient lighting working for you?

Not if car does not have lights installed.
is it possible to change the colors so it syncs up with music?
Nope
Would it work the same on an 18' x5m?
Maybe try it
Is the same shit with the Bowers and Wilkins Soroundsound possible ? They just appear with white lighting, is it possible to change them colours too with the expert mode ?
Change colors yes it’s possible

If we do the layering selection will this actors both layers and not cause damage . I did not seem him activate it or does his car not have the bottom layer
