MK7 VW Ambient Lighting Color Change via VCDS (NAR)

Came across a Skoda Superb VCDS tweak thread here that shows the user tweaking RGB color codes for his ambient lighting. Being curious I logged into my NAR MK7 Golf Variant and recorded my color codes to be the following:

MKV7 NAR TSI MY16 Golf Variant Ambient Lighting defaults

Controller 09 - Central Electronics
16 - Security Access - enter 31347
10 - Adaptations

Int. light; 2nd generation-Rotwert Farbe 1 (currently 225)

Int. light; 2nd generation-Gruenwert Farbe 1 (currently 225)

Int. light; 2nd generation-Blauwert Farbe 1 (currently 225)

Int. light; 2nd generation-Rotwert Farbe 2 (currently 225)

Int. light; 2nd generation-Gruenwert Farbe 2 (currently 225)

Int. light; 2nd generation-Blauwert Farbe 2 (currently 225)

Int. light; 2nd generation-Rotwert Farbe 3 (currently 225)

Int. light; 2nd generation-Gruenwert Farbe 3 (currently 225)

Int. light; 2nd generation-Blauwert Farbe 3 (currently 225)

Now according to this website RGB 225,225,225 is #E1E1E1 AKA: white

This leads me to believe that we can indeed change our interior ambient lighting to GTI Red or R Blue (fingers crossed). I didn't change any values as I didn't want to mess around just yet, and rather post here to get input or suggestions from all.

My end goal would be to find the exact RGB codes Golf R vehicles have.

I just pulled a map from a 2016 Golf R:

IDE09731-ENG126827-Int. light: 2nd generation-Blauwert Farbe 1 225
IDE09731-ENG126830-Int. light: 2nd generation-Blauwert Farbe 2 225

IDE11714-ENG02346-Ambientelicht Farbliste-Rotwert Farbe 6 E1
IDE11714-ENG02349-Ambientelicht Farbliste-Rotwert Farbe 7 E1
IDE11714-ENG02352-Ambientelicht Farbliste-Rotwert Farbe 8 E1
IDE11714-ENG02355-Ambientelicht Farbliste-Rotwert Farbe 9 E1

Based on this, I don't think these cars actually have multi-color LED interior lighting.

^^^^ Uwe: I had a look at the admaps in my database for the newer generation BCMs and they confirmed your hypothesis. I suspect the adaptation channels are intended for a "disco light show" facility in future models - perhaps VW will even supply the white suit coat and full instructions for John Travolta's dance steps with the option!!!

PS: incidentally, this is my only criticism of RT's otherwise excellent HEX NET - not enough different colored blinking LEDS!!!
