Piano black illuminated - photos or videos?
Do any of you have photos or videos you can share of what the “piano black illuminated” interior actually looks like? The picture in the confugurator isn’t that helpful. |
Is there any way to retrofit this to an F60 without it? It was 1 of 2 things that mine didn't come with that I wanted.
|
Wow!! That is such a nice touch.

My thought exactly... I'm sure there is a way, but curious about the level of effort.

It's most likely possible. I retrofitted the illuminated door trim on my F54 Clubman myself. The car would need to have ambient lighting package though; most countrymen, if not all of them, should have ambient lighting. The trim is just held in by clips, so should not be too difficult.

I wonder if the electrical connectors are there for the dash trim though. Did the door trim have a separate connector or did it use one that the old door trim already had or was it just light tubes and used the existing ambient lighting for it?
I also added illuminated color changing ambient lighting into the rear door map pockets simply by splicing into the wires. I added the illuminated trim using the proper wiring harness and connector. |
This is all very interesting. I think the price of the part may be the worst part, but my Mini dealer can't seem to figure out pricing on it.

a few days ago dismount the central ring with the screen, and there were some connectors without connecting just in the area that lights up if you take the pack excitemen, it is possible that changing the panel that carries the lighting and coding worked |

I may buy the drivers side since it's not that much money to see if I can get it to work, if so, then I can just buy the passenger side. Here's what I'm seeing for part numbers and pricing:

These modules (3 are needed I believe) click into the trim and are what need to be connected by wiring. You can see the back here on this RHD gold version: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-M...-/323427384628 lights connect to trim like this: https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...07c1b1c291.png |

The driver side is not actually illuminated though; it's just labelled as illuminated because of the pattern printed on it to match. Only the passenger side lights up.

Yeah, I am totally in. Price isn’t bad, I just really want to make sure it will work. |
but if it is not encoded, how are you going to change the color of the lighting of the LEDs? or your idea is that there is only one color? |

But my car has white lights in the area of the feet, that's the ambient lights? . |

If you do have ambient lighting, just splice the wiring into the footwell lighting if the car is not already pre-wired for the dashboard panel. I suppose you can wire it to only have one color permanently if you don't have ambient lighting? |

If your car has ambient lighting, your footwell lighting should have available base colors of red, blue, and green(or is it yellow?); these are the basis of the various colors you can achieve. You would also have a toggle switch in the overhead panel that controls the colors. If you don't have these things, you don't have ambient lighting, and it would probably be prohibitively expensive even if you found a way to retrofit the dashboard panel since you would need a new overhead console toggle switch set as well.

About to pull the trigger on my 2019 Custom Iconic F60 build with my local mini dealer. I have chosen to go with the Illuminated Piano Black interior but I am nervous that it is distracting or takes away from the classiness fo the Chesterfield Oak interior? Any feedback from those of you that already have the Illuminated Piano Black interior would be super helpful. Is it too much? Distracting while driving at night?
Thank you!!! |
How much wiring is needed? Is it plug and play? If so I will go down to the dealer and order the part.
