5280-S5

Hey all. Chomping at the bit waiting for my new S5 to be shipped.

I've seen a lot of discussion about the prestige interior lighting and how you can change the colors to some 30ish options.

I ordered the premium plus (didn't care for the driver assistance items) and I'm a little confused about what interior ambient lighting it will have. From my understanding, it still has the same LED's in the doors/cupholders/etc, just no color options like the prestige.

Is this true? What else changes with the lighting package between the prestige and premium plus? What about the exterior door handle and under-mirror lights?

Thanks!

I have a Premium Plus. There are white LEDs in the cupholders and ambient lighting under the internal door handle area. There's a beautiful strip of red LED that is closer to the top of the door interior that serves as a warning for incoming cars/cyclists. That's basically it. No color choices for any of them.

Externally there are the same lights on the ext door handles and under-mirrors too.

Thanks!

Any chance you could snap a pic?

Sure, will do when I get the chance and it's darker.

Here are some pics of the interior lighting. There is a ring of color around the cupholders:



This line of red shows up very briefly upon ignition but disappears after only a few seconds. It doesn't come back unless you are stopped and a cyclist or car is coming up from behind. The quality is rough because it's on for such a short time there's no time to composite a great shot! This red LED also is on the rear doors as well.


And just for fun, an external door light shot. I had thought there were puddle lights coming down from the side mirrors but no, only the door handles.
