So whilst I was installing my new screen I found out I had the LED connectors preinstalled behind the dash trim.
I bough and installed an OEM light strip and LED head and everything works (see pic for result). My current questions are: I did not have the factory ambient lighting option so this is basically a retrofit, which means I have no settings in the iDrive menu, can they be added somehow (BimmerCode)? Has anyone tried taking apart the doors? Is there a chance the connectors are also inside the door panels (before I start opening everything up)? Thanks!

Does anyone have a clue?
I might just open the door trim to check if the connectors are also there, but, it would be nice to be able to adjust everything through the idrive. Cheers |

Did you open the doors at the end to see if there were connectors? I have the same connector behind my dash trim. How much did it cost? |

don't think so - my trim lighting connector is on other end of the dashboard close to the furthest vent from steering wheel.
