Hello guys,
Can you change the door led strip from the non facelift to the facelift one? I’m interested also if you can code it in order to have the colours from the facelift available. Thanks in advance!

Having come from a superb mk3 where all interior buttons etc that light up are white to the fl mk3 where all dash buttons are red... It seems odd when u have the door strips anything but red.

In my mk3 superb it had door led strips in all 4 doors but it also changed the lighting theme on the infotainment screen aswell as the mfd screen.

Also, has someone pointed out on the thread, OCD prevents me from having mine set to anything other than red ;)

I changed my mode button so that in sport it is red and not orange. I also changed the eco and normal to red on the doors, but never change the mode

I sent an email to carista asking for them to add it a while ago and I included the long coding used to enable it.

1 - Module 09- Electronic control unit. Code (31347)
2 - Extended encoding (Bytes Mode)
3 - Byte 15 - (Activate Bit 7)
This will always be lit in red.

Just looks stupid, rest red, this button orange/yellow. Yuk, no. My boy said what about the lock button. I said I couldn't see that one :lol:
Having the lock button orange makes sense, but the mode button in orange looks out of place

In answer to the original post.

No you cannot without alot of work see below...

The FL door card LED's are LIN controlled however they do not connect to the door module like first thought, they actually still connect to the BCM. However the PFL BCM do not posses any LIN Channels, unlike the newer ones. So if you wish to do the above mod you will require a new BCM. And MIB2.
