Доступно множество различных цветов, режимов подсветки, управление яркостью, разделение по зонам свечения Так же приложение можно использовать на многих автомобилях со штатной подсветкой, ведь наши компоненты идеально сочетаются со многими штатными системами (мы можем подключить к CAN и LIN) Для некоторых марок, доступна установка активной подсветки.

Не забывайте обновлять приложение, дальше будет интереснее! This application is designed to control atmospheric contour lightning inside your car interior. There are several colors and lightning modes available, brightness control and division into glow zones. Also the application can be used on many cars with already built in lighting, since our components fit perfectly with many standard systems (we can connect to CAN and LIN) For some cars active lighting is available. It is able to respond to many functions. For example: it can shine with rainbow modes, while using your turn signal, the side of the direction of travel will flash, when parking in reverse light prompts will appear, while a seat belt is not fastened, when speeding and several other functions. An important part of this application is also the opportunity to control the interior fragrance system.
