About

Elegant Ambient

Features
Read full description

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 centre 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. PRESETS Sixteen colour pairs designed for a dark leather interior, each setting both zones in one tap. Burmester puts warm white on the doors and amber in the vents to match factory dash lighting. Night Drive is deep blue throughout. AMG, Mint, Blush, Copper, Dusk and more. 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. FULL COLOUR CONTROL A colour wheel and hex readout for each zone, independent brightness, and five modes: solid colour, gradient, strobe, breathe and the controller's own palette. SCHEDULE Three time intervals — morning, evening, night — each storing both zones in full. The app applies the right one automatically when it connects. SIRI AND CARPLAY Set a colour, preset, mode or power state by voice. A CarPlay list puts your presets on the car's screen, one tap each. 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 The app requires a subscription 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 cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and are managed in Settings > your name > Subscriptions.
