Purple.....H56 / H58

[the_lorne_ranger]

Did anyone try changing the 16 value to 26 and vice versa to see if it does anything?

Hate to confuse……but, added a new profile a few weeks back (to better sync with cheap electricity overnight)……….started the car……hey presto been enjoying a purple ambience ever since….

It’s still not a choice in my light settings, so I suspect if I change it I won’t get it back…..(so I am not going to try )
I am h56 & 1940!
Software hey………

Hey, any luck with keeping the purple?

For the record:
I spent HOURS with two Formentors side by side, one with Purple and one without.
I did full extracts of coding of both cars with OBDeleven and did a diff compare of the files.
Even with the exact same values on both cars I could not get purple.

There is another module involved and it has also an older software version.
That module contains a look up table providing the colours to be displayed - all that our configs do is choose which position of the look up table to fetch a color from.

Since Purple is not a configurable version in the look up table for older cars, forget about doing it.

Technically it would be possible if you have access to the software to either update the involved modules or just write the newer dataset to old modules, but this is something that CANNOT be done with OBDeleven or VCDS.

Let's please stop asking.

my problem is, I have all the tools, but I don't know where to get the data set from. this time it's really a well-protected secret

I don't know if it can be transposed to Cupra Formentor, but I know that VW Golf Mk7 or even Skoda Superb Mk3 owners have modified the ambient colors, using VCDS, w/o any HW modification. You need to change RGB values for each of the ten colors. But it's a looooong job!
I can have a look to find back how they did. Just tell me if your interested...

It is Not the Same.
