After completing the coding, the infotainment system must be restarted via reset (press and hold the power button for 10 seconds). Ambient Lighting (Multicolor) - Adjusting Colors The colors are specified in RGB encoding. If a color is set to {R:0, G:0, B:0}, the color will not be displayed. The first three channel blocks are for the infotainment system and the AID (Active Info Display), the second three blocks for the LED ambient strips, which are controlled via the LIN bus. After completing the coding, the infotainment system must be restarted via reset (press and hold the power button for 10 seconds). Note: The colors are generally displayed 1:1 in the infotainment system and AID. Slight adjustments to the LIN colors may be necessary, as the colors can vary due to the different brightness of the LEDs.

This may need to be tested. The color values are retrieved from the channel lists "Ambient light color list" and "Ambient light color list LIN". The function must then be activated in the CAR menu under Ambient Lighting.
