Ambient lighting

Hi I have the lighting package on my car as standard. Is this the same as ambient lighting or totally different? If it is different can I enable it from the green menu to make it work? I have a sales brochure for my car and it doesn’t list ambient lighting as an option.

Having the interior light pack does not mean ambient lighting is enabled. You will need to enable with vcds or similar.

Yes, that should do it.

Yes, that’s all it does, plus of course keeping them on at the chosen setting while driving, which you wouldn’t have had before. It’s not terribly exciting! Were you expecting more?

Ambient lighting on B8 models as a function of the interior light pack just enables the footwell LEDs while driving as far as I recall. It’s not like the B9 where they are, as you say, everywhere, and in different colours if you get the extended pack like I did.

Hi Marky,

Sorry to say I don’t have a definitive answer for you, as I only have experience of the extended light pack. I do think it is strange, if I understand you correctly, that you have light on the drivers side centre console but not the passenger side - seems odd to me, and I’d be asking the same question. My only advice would be to reach out here to other B9 non-extended LED owners and ask what the behaviour of their cars is.
Sorry I can’t be of more direct help.

Edit: Just seen your other post, so you’re way ahead of me! [emoji106]

Thanks for the reply Dan. Its a little frustrating the the service centre can't find any issues or any error codes, my next step was to take back along with these pictures.

Thanks again.👍

Hi,

sorry, but can I just clarify something because i'm not sure I understood correctly, I have the Led Interior Lighting Pack as standard, Illuminated door sill trims with S logo as an optional equipment and I have lights in the door cards for rear and back and in footwells as well and I can dim everything from the settings menu and I have the light in the glove compartment so does this mean I can make it change the colors with vcds? If so then anyone know how?

regards
Andres

It seems that as usual the official Audi stealerships are worse than useless sigh.
