Couldn't help myself.

Designed LED products & wrote copy for half a decade at Oznium. Used to be *very into glow* and accent lighting, since I got free merchandise to test from Shenzhen direct.

Decided against anything on the outside, but couldn't help myself with some interior glow, hidden well under the dash and front seats.

Paired it to WiFi using the wifi of my car's ATT trial. Also have a backup remote.

I don’t know why, but seeing the coiled cord going up along the side of the display made me think you had a CB radio in there and that was the microphone. ?

Smokey and the Bandit flashbacks.

It's an older Escort Passport 8500 X50, haven't gotten the inline fuse kit in yet. Also passenger footwell is a dash cam I'm 50/50 on keeping (actually like it, a VAVA model)

They mount pretty easily to the driver and passenger front seats which have a stable surface to mount on. I ended up using these for $25 bucks to get front of driver and front of drivers seat. Another set for the rear of drivers seat (doubled up)

I used 3M's heavy duty mounting tape on top of the tape that was included on the strips (which is inadequate) and put them on the bottom rear bar that forms the framework of the seats.

Question on your LED lights in the Mach e. What model of Mach e do you have? I just got into a Select and noticed quickly that it does not have ambient light on the screen. Did you add that and if so how did you add Ambient light to your software to show as a feature. How did you power your LED lights that you installed? Curios if you have step by step instructions.

Ambient lighting is offered on the Premium. He doesn't control the lighting from the dash. You can see in his picture the lights are a different color.

This is a $14 set of LEDs from Costco that plugs into the 12v source in the center console.

Thanks for sharing!
Are you referring to the 12v in the center console BIN, which is a solid piece of plastic? The only way out of that thing without drilling holes is to have the cables powering the LEDs coming out of the top, near the front so that the sliding cover can mostly close... Is that your setup?

Yes, that is how I did it. It is hard to notice that the cover isn't closed all the way.

If the set has USB plug (like the one he purchased) (less heat) you could also use the USB port behind the console with an angled USB attachment if you don't want the cord coming out of the console. Less chance of getting bumped in the console tho.
