They were a bit tricky but I did them on my M340i. You have to mount them with double sided tape and cut to fit the lights. Then run the wires down the A pillar. It helps if you loosen the headliner up.
I added the center console lights and the sunroof lights to my 2020 M340i. If I were to add these how could I connect them? The sunroof lights are tapped into the driver footwell light. The center console lights are tapped into the passenger footwell light.
@@THE3MW. I think I can tap into it. I just realized I have the sunroof light on the passenger side and the center console lights both wired to the passenger side footwell light.

Did you use a battery charger during the ista+ coding process to get the lights working? It says online to use one for every programming and coding job to prevent low voltage message and the program canceling out. I'm getting ready to do this to mine
Unless your car has bad battery condition, I don’t think you will need one. It took about 15minutes. And I did not use battery charger, FYI. If you are worried, bring your car and drive a bit around with coasting and braking, then start coding after the short trip.
@@roloracer2 I was skeptical about the product in the beginning, since there was no tutorials about this. I wasn’t expecting ISTA would be required at first. But here it is! I did the hassle for you guys!!
Hm. Since the signal is coming from foot side. It should act the same as foot side light. Is it white even though you close the door and drive? Or is your ambient light setting set to white by any chance?

great video bro, just installed it on my g87
I am glad it helped! Bet ur ride got cooler
On ali express it says Plug&Play no Coding. Do we need to do the addressing part. What happens if you don't do that part.

@@THE3MW. can some do the coding remotely?
@@YN-io6kj I think there is a way for sure. you can ask the seller. they actually offered me but I didn‘t have right environment to get it remotely
Looks good, but kind of expensive also. I was thinking you added LED lights which would’ve been cheap.
Yea it was a bit pricey
when i ISTA can i do that from my phone and i read i could bring it to the dealer and they could do it to but would it void my warranty
Isn't there an OEM ambient light cupholder? The pre-LCI version had ones with ambient lights in them.
Not that I know of
Have you seen the ambient lights for the sunroof? I think that would be an interesting install.
Yea I have seen it. And I am afraid to try it haha. Too complicated.

8:43 stuck on the INSTA READRESSING Part is it something i need to buy?
No, you don’t need anything other than PC and a car and an adapter. It has to be connected and if it is detected , should work
Do you know how to remove just the cup holder cover. Mine has two cracks in the veneer and need to be replaced?
The cover that slides?? Sorry.. I have no clue. But there gotta be a way.. I will certainly get back if I find one.
Thank you. Greatly appreciated

Honestly I have no idea!
@@THE3MW. I think I can tap into it. I just realized I have the sunroof light on the passenger side and the center console lights both wired to the passenger side footwell light.
Do you happen to know how easy it would be to take out the 12v socket from the cupholder and slot in a replacement one and plug it back in?
Like I mentioned it was not easy.. I ended up melting some of it to take it out
@@THE3MW. my bad. I hadn’t even watched the video till that point when I made the comment. Thank you for responding tho

How did you get the centerconsole light in ambient collor. The led above where you put your phone and cupholder?
According to comments, i think some g20 with different years, there were different parts installed. My light is like that from the factory
you can get an aftermarket kit for that aswell if you want it
The pre-LCI (facelift) version of the car had the center console lights.

Definitely appreciate it, I have a 2020 and I just got all the pieces to do the whole console , this definitely will help a lot 👍
I need this for my bmw x4 2021
I don’t think there is one sold in the market for x4 :(. I only see ambient light part for the center console.
How did u match the original cup holder light to the ambient colour mine stays white
