Interior Lighting-colors?
When I brought my new S6 home I was looking to see where you adjust the interior lightings colors. I was disappointed to see they only have white and you can just adjust the brightness. Really? On a 80K car? Now I see where the 2017 Q7 has this feature. I had it on my 30K MINI not on the S6 Audi? Hopefully this might only require a software update to add this feature. It is great to be able to set the mood in the car. I believe the lighting could be the same as I believe the color change in the LEDs is the amount of current supplied determines the color. Anybody know anything on this subject?

It might be possible to install RGB's and control them from a remote location.

Just purchased 2017 Audi A4 - I was also under the impression that I could change the color of the ambient lighting. Is this a setting that I am not finding correctly? Does anyone know how this could potentially be changed/added for not too much cost and work?

The original production specifications (ie, Germany) for the B9 A4 have 3 levels of interior lighting, which translate to:
- Base lighting - overhead light, map lights front and rear
- Light pack option - LED lights in exterior and interior door handles, footwells, drink holders, around the console, etc.
- Ambient lighting option - as per the Light Pack above, with the added ability to change colour
The US website describes the system in the Premium and Premium Plus versions as
ambient LED interior lighting
ambient LED interior lighting plus package
I assume you don't have a Prestige version, and so can't find any settings in MMI.

Thanks so much for the quick response. That is correct. The dealer couldn't locate a prestige and told me it was in the premium plus package. I guess they were mistaken. Bummer. Any idea how difficult it would be to add this? I mean anything is possible.. but, how difficult? and any idea where to start?

The above post on the controller and wiring is correct. White will be 2 wires - power and data for white.
If its RGB(Red Green Blue) or RGBAW (Red Green Blue Amber White) then you will have more wiring to the controller.
Not sure of the system that Audi use to control the colours but for them the implementation of colour should not be difficult.
