Ambient Lighting Retrofit

[Toma]

Hello everyone,

My approach is to install full ambient lighting in my 2020 Seat lbiza.

I have already installed footwell lighting and coded an Ambient Lighting menu in the infotainment system, dividing it into three zones with color-changing and dimming functions.
You can see pictures of the menu and footwell lighting in my car:

My next step is to install lighting in the center console above the phone storage. I found a part on eBay, and you can see the picture or check the link here

My question is: Does anyone know where this red connector goes? Maybe the cable is already in place and just needs to be connected. If there is no cable, is it wired directly to the BCM? If so, does anyone know the correct PIN, such as the footwell BCM pin is C72?

Ambient Lighting

Hello @Youssef95 and everyone who are interested for this

I managed to install on my 2020 Seat Ibiza:

• Footwell Lights
• Central Console Light

Only left:

• Door lights

Footwell Lights:
You can buy Footwell Lights kit on this link and you will need probably plastic adapters for front seats like me on this link see pictures below:

Center Console Light:
You can buy Central Console Light on this link part number is 6F0857234A, wire plug on this link and you will need someone to make for you wires or you can make yourself see pictures below:

Connecting to the BCM connector C:
Pin 72 is for Footwell Lights
Pin 71 is for Central Console Light

You can watch YouTube video from mr-fix on this link he have 3 parts, he explained it very well. He showed how he connected the Footwell Lights but the same procedure is for the Central Console Light

Coding:
Configuration for Leuchte33AMBL 3C72 ( Footwell Lights )
- 09 Central Electrics -> Adaptation -> Leuchte33AMBL 3C72 and you can see screenshot below:

Configuration for Leuchte34AMBL 4C71 ( Central Console Light )
- 09 Central Electrics -> Adaptation -> Leuchte34AMBL 4C71 and you can see screenshot below:

Activating the Ambient Lighting menu in 3 zones ( Footwell Lights, Central Console Light and Door lights ) and slider for dimming:
- 5F Multimedia -> Adaptation -> Car Function Adaptations Gen2 and you can see screenshot below:

- 09 Central Electrics -> Adaptation -> Ambient lighting and you can see screenshot below:

Activating the Ambient Lighting colors red and white ( White is for all and red is only for door lights ):
- 09 Central Electrics -> Adaptation -> Interior lighting, parameter and you can see screenshot below:

Ambient Lighting menu will look like this, you can see screenshot below:

I didn't have a chance to show you how to assemble it all, but I think you will manage. You can watch the mr-fix videos on YouTube for Volkswagen, it's similar.

Thanks

Hello @Toma ,

Thank you for the thorough explanation and process.

Hello @Toma,
I would like to know please if i need to remove the side panel to pass the cable to the other side for footlights and if need also to remove the part i circled in red to install the central console light?

Hello @Youssef95

For the Footwell Lights, I used a telescopic magnet stick from Lidl to pass the cable to the other side. It looks like this:

I tied the end of the cable to the tip of the magnetic stick and pulled it all the way behind the gas pedal to the passenger side.

It's a bit tricky to do, but I managed with the help of a friend who was waiting for the end of the cable on the passenger side. I wish you luck.



For Central Console Light you need to remove passenger side panel

then these three parts

Dashboard trim have 1 srew over here

And Central Console Light is here

You can check out this guy on YouTube, he disassembled the entire Seat Arona in this video. All the parts are the same for the Ibiza as well. Good luck! I hope I helped.

Thank you very much for the explanation

Is it possible please to give me more details about the wire for the central light panel (length, diameter, type of pins)
