Thank you 
pyo! Finally got around to coding my ambient lighting and in love with red over cyan blue. Looking forward to coding other preset colors in expert mode. Does anyone know where I can go and change the map light to match door & dash snd footwell?

Question- does anybody know how to change the menu highlights from orange to red? On my x3 m40 when I highlight for example a radio station it's orange. On my g80 it's red. Any idea?

///minh wroteIn my OP there is a link to the stickied thread on the G80 site. They figured out how to change the map light.Thank you
There was a lot of trial and error just figuring out the Idrive7 profile selections with my OBDLink LX (wireless). In hindsight, I should have gone the ENET route but I don't see myself venturing into ESYS anytime soon, so it is what it is.
Slow connection + working in an uncovered parking lot + sweating my a$$ off + no internet connection (airplane mode) = gave up after figuring out how to get Blue/Red & Red/Blue only

My primary goal was to achieve Blue/Red Ambient Lighting combination on my 2022 LCI and these instructions are specifically for that end result.

From what I can tell, the basic principals are the same between all the newer platforms. There are 2 areas in Expert Mode where changes are made:
BDC_BODY3 ECU
- Select 360A/LIC_LCI_COLOR_LIBRARY_DATA
- Select 360D/LIC_LCI_COLOR_PROFILES_DATA
1. Library is where you change the stock colors of ambient lighting. The byte locations of the colors vary between the platforms. Basic Mode already has the ability to recode Bronze to one of their pre-set colors and luckily Red is one of them. In Basic Mode, there are 2 settings for ambient lighting color but you can't code combinations. For good measure, I set both of these to Red (oddly, will accept the same values just not different values).
2. Profiles is where you change the ambient lighting combo idrive selections. Every 2 bytes corresponds to the idrive menu selection; the 1st byte is the bottom choice, 2nd byte is the top choiceThe byte values correspond to a specific color choice.
- Byte 0 - Bronze/Bronze (bottom)
- Byte 1 - Bronze/Bronze (top)
- Byte 2 - White/Bronze (bottom)
- Byte 3 - White/Bronze (top)
From there, I went down the list to figure out which bytes represents the Blue/Blue idrive menu selection. This is byte 10 and 11, and the byte value for both is 03 (blue)
- 00 = White
- 01 = Bronze
- 02 = Orange
- 03 = Blue
- 04 = Green
- 05 = Lilac
Since my Bronze is already Red via Basic Mode, I modified Byte 3 from 00 (white) to 03 (blue).
That's basically my workaround to achieve Blue/Red combo.
Looking forward to when someone deciphers the Library portion and creates some crazy combos!
i.e. You can change the color of 3 areas:
- Doors and Dash
- Footwell
- Map Light
Step by Step:
- Enter Body Domain Controller
- Use Basic Mode to change Bronze to Red
- Enter Expert Mode and navigate to 360D LicLciColorProfiles
- From here, you can change the combinations that correspond to iDrive
I created this quick Excel file to help with changing the values. This is for LCI not sure if its the same values for Non-LCI.
Was this what happened in your experience? Should I be recording for posterity's sake which options were checked before coding?
I'm aiming for remapping Bronze/White to be Bronze/Blue.
Thanks!

Bimmercode should have made a backup before coding any changes. You can always revert back.

By the way your spreadsheet was very helpful. Thanks for the reply.

I must be missing something. I want to code blue over red on my LCI. I do not have an option in Bimmercode for any ambient lighting options so I cannot change orange to red. Does anyone have instructions for an LCI where you have to code red in expert mode? The spreadsheet does not give the byte for red.

The G80 thread has directions, however I believe it's specific to that platform. I do not know the location of the BYTES to change colors.

Just to close the loop on my previous comments. I confirmed with the Bimmercode folks there is a bug in the app where the X4 does not have the option to code the ambient lighting. They advised to choose X3 after connecting which worked like a charm.

Just got my hands on Protools by Bimmergeeks. This makes it much easier to change iDrive color combinations. Will take screenshots and post later.
