its probably some clip mounting differences between auto and manual. you may be able to modify the auto versions to work. i gotta imagine some locations are the same.

nice flex gt3? if so, dont send pics because i im just getting the m2 in a few weeks and dont want the high to be drawn down. haha.

but from my experience, these guys dont sell junk and I am sure they would take a return if something doesnt work. not a gamble like ali buying in the US.

Since I already have the china made kit. How do I engage the service of this vendor to help make my set work?
I am assuming what I bought is not going to work… based on others who have tried.
My M2 arrives next week

id try calling or emailing? they have a website.

Found this video today showing a 2023+ m340 with iDrive 8 getting the ambient light kit installed that worked, and it was a kit from aliexpress.

all of those kits have been known to work on the 3 series pre lci and LCI. and not with good quality. i looked at that video link. on ali its like $120 shipped. id happily pay IAW $20 more for better quality and someone i could talk to in english if I have any issues.

infinite autowerks just posted on thier instagram today of thier kit installed and working on the 2 series. will be buying for my M2 for sure now.

I’m interested in your results as well! I’d pick a kit up for sure!

I really wish they had a quality kit that worked with manuals.

Let us know what you think and how the install went!

[BMW DIY Guy]

Yeah, I am intrigued as well!

[M2Jorge]

Was finally able to add these, I’m surprised at the quality and the fact they actually work makes them much better than the aliexpress one’s I had previously.

Looks great.
How are these different than the ones off aliexpress and ebay?

Those didn’t work, they’re programmed for iDrive 7 not 8.

Aliexpress ambient light worked on my brother’s G80 M3 idrive 8. Also tested it works on my M2. Maybe you bought a faulty one?

Glad it turned out good! Did you need to have it coded or did it work right out of the box?

I had it coded at the dealership with a friend that’s a tech.

What needs to be coded?

I know that there are additional color options available under the M3 tab in BimmerCode. Mine is magenta-blue I think.

The ambient light needs to be readdressed and it can only be done through ISTA

So it has to be recoded after each new software update?
