I may be at the level 6/ 7 from the inception

I attempted to do this last night and while I was able to use the basic coding to set alternatives for Ivory, but I can't find this key G20G21G26G28G80_Lichpacket_code1

Has this been changed since ID8 or Bimmercode update? After clicking through 360A/LIC_LCI_COLOR_LIBRARY_DATA mine is set to unknown with hex values and there is an option for custom. Is this perhaps after the basic coding made it's changes?

[Sierra055]

I think I may have been missing that particular entry as i'd used Bimmercode to change the Ivory to red. I ended up just going to custom, which looks to edit the curently active settings and changed 28, 29 and 30 to FE to get my white(ish) foot wells and map lights. I tried FF for each, but the bug where FF doesn't code still appears to be the case

Bumping, do we have this list for iDrive 8?

Also, I have same here. I went to custom and chnaged the numbers for bronze in iDrive 7 and nothing happened.

My car is ID8, was exactly the same bits to change Ivory as what was listed.
I think my issue of not seeing G20G21G26G28G80_Lichpacket_code1 key was because I'd used Bimmercode in non-expert mode to set Ivory to red.
I just scrolled to the bottom which was custom and changed the bits there. worked fine.

So you went to the bottom and instead is selecting the lichpacket code above, just selected custom? And then which bits did you change?

[Sierra055]

yep, that's right.
Same bits were changed as in the OP, which changes the values for Ivory in ID8:
18,19,20 - (These three represent the color in the DOORS and DASH)
23,24,25 - (These three represent the color in the FOOTWELL)
28,29,30 - (These three represent the color in the MAP LIGHT)

Thanks for the insight. Happy new year.

I was bored, so I threw this together last night. I figure it will help people save time and headache (and it can always be updated with the latest info and be the Source of Truth):

Behold, several hours of my labor: The BimmerCode G8X Ambient Lighting Helper.

Please give me feedback. Did I miss anything? Is there anything I could tweak to make it better:

- does it work okay on your phone screen? I only tested it on my laptop but it should be responsive to small screens as well
- add a print or screenshot button?
- put a greyed out "0x" in front of the values?
- be more explicit in the instructions?

Anyway, it was fun to do regardless, but I hope you guys like it. Who knows–maybe we could turn it into more than just the colors eventually.

The default colors are obviously the ///M colors.

Mine is ID7, its RHD car and there is no official / aftermarket release for the center console light. I just custom made from light strips which was used for the sunroof.

For LHD car, you can have a lot options from aftermarket release which can be found on ebay or aliexpress

There are several vendors/prices but here's the link I used:
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568...Cquery_from%3A

It took about 12 days to come in and I installed mine last week.

Fairly easy to install video here:

Got it to work!

Do we know the values for the other standard colors so we can change those?

This is awesome. Is there any way to make the sliders / color scales bigger? Kind of hard to dial in on an iPad.

Thanks again!

Let me put my browser in iPad emulation mode and see what I can do. What kind of iPad, and portrait or landscape?

3rd gen pro 11”, landscape.

Thank you!

I don’t want to sound too noobish, but that is exactly what I am. I bought a license on the bimmercode app. I bought a VEEPEAK OBDCheck BLE but some of the options on main screen, say I cannot make changes with my current OBD. Where do I find interior lighting from the first connection screen? Additionally, if I really can’t access it with this OBD, looks like I wasted 30 bucks, what should I buy instead?

You might also need an adapter for Ethernet-to-whatever port your phone has if you’re using a phone to flash

Ok so the little bluetooth plugins don’t work, I actually need a laptop? I actually feel so dense with this right now, because I thought you bought the bluetooth obd, plug it in, link to the app, and code, straight forward process. For what its worth, it worked for simple ASD settings.

No, buy an Ethernet adapter for your phone. I use that with the wired cable and coding is so easy because it’s super fast.

OH, ok so I am completely bypassing the little bluetooth plug in route. Sweet. Thank you for that
