I have some progress with custom made ambient light with using own wifi rgb led controller.

But at this moment I have some trouble with front passenger door connector, that located in car. If somebody know how to access it for adding new pin wires to it? Should I remove fuse box or it must be some easily way to remove it? I have no problem with the rear doors and front panels as you can see on my photos. Hope for your helping and many thanks!

I’m actually work on it.
The bad news is that the wire are not in place. We have to add the complete wire.
Nothing in the doors, and nothing in the dash.
To have the dash trim ambient light, you have to buy a new trim. The lighting système is integrated on it. Same in the left Air vent.

I’m looking to see where this wire is connected to. Will see.

Would love to see the final product and get a $ number. I have a 2020 M340i which unfortunately didn't have ambient lighting as well. For the trim pieces I'll probably just order the G80 M3 carbon ones and do that retrofit while I'm at it.
