Elegant Ambient controls the aftermarket Bluetooth LE ambient lighting installed in your car's cabin, with two independently addressable zones: the door trim lines and center console, and the air vents and tweeter grilles. IMPORTANT: This app requires a compatible Bluetooth LE ambient lighting controller already installed in the vehicle. It does nothing on its own. FREE, WITH NO ACCOUNT Connecting to your controller, the full color wheel with a hex readout for each zone, independent brightness, power, the live cabin preview and four presets are free to use. No sign-up, no trial to start, nothing to cancel. SEE IT BEFORE YOU SEND IT A live cabin preview tints as you choose, so you know what the interior will look like before the lights change. PRESETS Sixteen color pairs designed for a dark leather interior, each setting both zones in one tap. Burmester runs amber through the cabin to match the factory dash lighting, Sport pairs amber doors with azure vents, Night Drive is deep blue throughout and Blush is soft rose and pale sky. Those four are free. The subscription adds twelve more: Sunset, Mint, Copper, Fern, Nightshade, Dusk, Cobalt, Dune, Meadow, Bloom, Alpine and Rally. WHAT THE SUBSCRIPTION ADDS • The other twelve presets • Gradient, breathe, strobe and the controller's own palette, animated from the phone • Your own cabins, saved and recalled in one tap • A daily schedule — morning, evening and night, each storing both zones in full and applied automatically on connect • The preset cycle, fading through presets on a timer • Siri and CarPlay: set a color, preset, mode or power state by voice, or tap a preset on the car's screen PRIVACY No account, no sign-in, no servers, no analytics. Every setting stays on your device. Bluetooth is used only to talk to the lighting controller. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Monthly and yearly subscriptions, or a one-time lifetime unlock. Prices are shown in the app in your own currency before you buy, and a free trial is offered where your account qualifies. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and are managed in Settings > your name > Subscriptions. Lifetime is a single payment and does not renew.
