Your car. Your colors. Your atmosphere. SD Ambient Customs puts compatible Bluetooth interior lighting at your fingertips. Personalize your ambient lights and footwells, save your favorite combinations, and bring your signature look to every drive. MAKE IT YOURS Choose a color, fine-tune brightness, or enter an exact HEX or RGB value. Keep favorite and recent colors close at hand. CONTROL YOUR LIGHTING Adjust ambient lighting and footwells separately, or select Sync Both to control them together. Balance the brightness between your lighting zones. SAVE YOUR FAVORITE LOOKS Personalize presets such as SD Pink, Midnight, and Ocean Drive, or save your own scenes. Edit scene names, colors, brightness, and supported playback settings. EXPLORE EFFECTS Browse ambient patterns and compatible footwell scenes with visual previews. Adjust supported effect speeds or create your own color sequences. Available effects depend on your lighting controller. LIGHT UP THE MUSIC Use music-reactive modes powered by your compatible lighting controller’s built-in microphone. The app does not access your iPhone microphone. ACCESS CONTROLS WITH CARPLAY Choose Ambient, Footwells, or Both, then access color presets, brightness, and on/off controls from the CarPlay interface. ORGANIZE YOUR GARAGE Save multiple cars and their lighting connections. Switch between your setups and reconnect to saved devices without pairing them again each time. No account required. COMPATIBILITY Compatible Bluetooth lighting hardware is required. Support includes specific ambient controllers and footwell lighting; the app is not a universal controller for all Bluetooth lights. Features and lighting results vary by controller and installation. Some previews illustrate an effect rather than reproduce its exact appearance. Keep the app open when using app-driven effects and custom sequences. Configure your lighting while parked.
