    Is there a "best way" to get the 10 colours palette with VCDS? A total guidance?

    Tweak: Colour Change in AID
    Vehicle: Passat B8 206TSI R-Line MY17 (AUS)
    Tweak completed with OBDEleven, should work with VCDS, but may be slightly different on newer cars (My18s)

    Not sure if all the below needs to be done, but these are the settings on my car and it works.


    Control unit: 5F Information Control Unit
    Adaptations:
    Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2: menu_display_ambient_illumination: activated
    Car_Function_Adaptations_Gen2: menu_display_ambient_illumination_over_threshold_h igh: activated

    To get the cool dials in the AID

    Control unit: 17 Dash Board
    Adaptations:
    Display depiction: Version 3
    Tube_version: variant_4


    Control unit: 09 Central Electrics
    Adaptations:
    Ambientelicht Farbliste: Rotwert Farbe 1: 144
    Ambientelicht Farbliste: Gruenwert Farbe 1: 24
    Ambientelicht Farbliste: Blauwert Farbe 1: 28
    Change all colours up to 10, none can be R: 0, G: 0, B: 0 as none will work
    I got the numbers for RGB from MS Excel (format cell > fill), but from other posts, Create Color Schemes, Test Color Combinations - Colorspire will give the same result.
    Pick what colours you like, find the RGB, enter those numbers into Rewert (Red), Gruenwert (Green) and Blauwert (you guessed it, Blue)
    My favourite colour is Maroon, so R, G, B is 144, 24, 28, but need to lighten the colour up a bit.


    I also have the below settings active, again, not sure if they need to be or not, but they work.
    Control unit: 09 Central Electrics
    Adaptations:
    Int. light, 2nd generation: weicher Farbwechsel: active
    Int. light, 2nd generation: Instrumententafelbeleuchtung mehrfarbig: active
    Int. light, 2nd generation: Mittelkonsolenbeleuchtung mehrfarbig: active
    Interior light, light configuration: Ambiente_Applikationsleisten_in_Instrumententafel: installed
    Interior light, light configuration: Mittelkonsolenbeleuchtung: installed
    Interior light, light configuration: LIN-Dachkonsole lokal aktivierbar: active
    Interior light, light configuration: Ambientemenue mit globalem aus: active
    Interior light, light configuration: Ambientemenue mit alle Zonen: active
    Interior light, light configuration: Ambient_Farbliste_HMI: active
    Interior light, light configuration: Frei_Farbwahl_ueber_HMI: active


    Cold Boot MIB Unit
    Hold down left button for 10 seconds (or so)
    Wait for restart
    Reset Background Lighting Setting in MIB
    with MIB on, goto the below;
    Menu > Vehicle > Settings > Factory Reset > Background Lighting > Reset


    Then you can go into Menu > Vehicle > Settings > Background Lighting
    You should have 10 colours at the bottom to choose from, select a colour, and both the MIB and AID change to that colour. If not, there may be a 3 colour small box to the right at the bottom. This doesn't change the Interior Door Lights, as on mine, they are just white.


    I've seen a couple of people on all forums have dramas with this, so thought i'd try to figure it out. Some of this is lifted from other guys posts, zloybob (via NZ_GolfR), so thanks.


    I'm certainly no expert on all this stuff, but this is a cool tweak, and hope this helps.

    Display depiction gives you the bouncing dots in between the dials
    tube version gives you the dials (but you need the newest version of VCDS)
