Ambient Lighting

[Stageshoot]

One thing that really bugged me was the lack of Ambient Lighting coming from the EV6 which has a nicely lit cabin at night.

£8.70 on Amazon and Issue solved.

Which kit did you get? Is it the same one Stuart thingmy got on his YouTube video? (His is powered from the 12V socket ... someone else here posted about a kit powered from the rear USB port).

Mine is powered from the rear USB i found it easier to hide the wires under the centre console when running from the rear.

I used this kit

Amazon product ASIN B083GHXFTJ
Basically the same kit as Stuarts Video but USB Rather than 12v.

Interesting - that kit is showing as £11.04 for me. (They've probably boosted the price so they can show a Black Friday discount ... which is still higher than the normal price).

Yes it seems to have gone up in the Black Friday Sale (Sigh!!!)

This one seems more like the original price (8.99 if you have prime)

Amazon product ASIN B08Y8SPPS3

Looks utterly awesome. Very neat! Definitely a good addition.

Cheers, yes if you run it from the rear usb you can hide all the leads down the seat runner and under the centre console a lot easier than trying to run from the front USB

Although I will probably take the time to redo it when I get a warm dry day and hard wire it in.

I wasn’t going to do this (because saw rats nest of wires previously), but your installation has convinced me it can be done neatly. Many thanks.

Yeah just a bit of time and patience with a spludger to push all the wires under the centre console and it comes out OK, I hat wires even the USB to phone for Carplay irritates me insanely, will probably get one of the wireless carplay adaptors just to resolve that.

I have a wireless carlinkit mini. I have a short black usb cable to clip neatly and velcro/stick the mini to the underside of the floating console to hide it.

Re. USB cable ... I have mine coiled up under the tray, and then pushed up through the tray with another small loop so that the (magnetic) connector lies flat on the tray surface. Then it's a simple matter of putting my phone onto the tray and the connector almost connects itself.

This looks terrific… and could pass for something installed at factory. Powering from the rear USB is probably what I would do.

Definitely a much neater way of doing it

Really adds to the mood. Did mine a few weeks back from the rear USB.

 

[Nigelleics]

Does it come in black to match my car?

 

[siteguru]

Yes ... that's called Off.

 

[Ian Key]

You'll have to keep the carpets clean with the floor lit up like that . Of course if you used the black light as Nigelleics suggests......
