Important: Due to the complexity of automotive electrical systems and interior trim, professional installation by a qualified technician is highly recommended to ensure proper function and avoid damage to your vehicle. The installation process involves disassembling interior panels and connecting to the vehicle's existing wiring harness.

3.1 Pre-Installation Check

1. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected to prevent electrical shorts.
2. Familiarize yourself with the vehicle's interior trim removal procedures for the areas where lights will be installed (dashboard, doors, center console, vents, speakers).
3. Identify all components in the kit and match them to their intended installation locations.

3.2 General Installation Steps (Illustrative)

The kit is designed for non-destructive installation using original factory agreement plugs, meaning no cutting or splicing of original wires should be necessary. However, specific steps will vary depending on the exact components being installed.

1. Remove Existing Trim: Carefully remove the relevant interior trim panels (e.g., door panels, dashboard trim, center console covers, speaker grilles, air vents) to access the installation points. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for precise trim removal instructions.
2. Install Light Components:
   • Vents (Front/Rear): Replace existing air vents with the illuminated versions.
   • Speaker Covers (4D Rotating/LED): Install the new speaker covers, ensuring proper alignment and connection for rotation/LEDs.
   • Saddle Light/Center Console Light: Integrate the light strips into the center console and saddle areas.
   • Armrest Lights: Install light strips into the door armrests.
   • Seat Lamps/Copilot Lamp: Install the specific lamp units as required.
3. Connect Wiring: Connect the wiring harnesses from each light component to the main control module. The system utilizes original factory agreement plugs for a plug-and-play connection to the vehicle's existing electrical system. Ensure all connections are secure.
4. Route Cables: Carefully route all cables to prevent pinching or interference with moving parts. Secure cables with zip ties or clips where necessary.
5. Reassemble Trim: Once all components are installed and wired, carefully reassemble the interior trim panels. Ensure all clips and fasteners are properly secured.
6. Reconnect Battery: Reconnect the vehicle's battery.

4. Operating Instructions

The ambient lighting system is designed to integrate with your Mercedes-Benz W206 C-Class's existing central control screen for seamless operation.

4.1 Central Control Screen Adjustment

1. Start your vehicle.
2. Navigate to the ambient lighting settings menu on your car's central infotainment screen. This is typically found under 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Lighting'.
3. From this menu, you can:
   • Select Colors: Choose from 64 available colors to match your mood or interior theme.
   • Adjust Brightness: Control the intensity of the ambient lights.
   • Select Modes: Switch between single-color mode, multicolor mode, or dynamic modes (if available). The system supports full vehicle synchronization.

4.2 4D Rotating Tweeter Speaker Operation

If your kit includes the 4D rotating tweeter speakers, their rotation and illumination will typically be synchronized with the vehicle's audio system and ambient lighting settings. They will activate and rotate when the audio system is in use or when specific ambient lighting modes are selected.

5. Maintenance

The Auchikj Ambient Lighting Kit is designed for durability and low maintenance. The light guide strips are made from ABS environmental protection material, which helps prevent oxidative reactions, discoloration, and maintains product strength, thereby improving service life.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the illuminated surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the materials.
• Inspection: Periodically check for any loose connections or damaged components. If any issues are observed, consult a professional technician.
• Environmental Factors: While designed for automotive use, extreme temperatures or prolonged direct sunlight exposure may affect the lifespan of the components.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your ambient lighting kit, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Lights Not Turning On:
  • Check if the vehicle's ignition is on.
  • Verify that the ambient lighting feature is enabled in your car's central control screen settings.
  • Ensure all wiring connections are secure. A loose connection can prevent power from reaching the lights.
  • If the issue persists, professional inspection of the wiring and control module may be required.
• Incorrect Colors or Flickering:
  • Restart the vehicle and re-check the settings on the central control screen.
  • Ensure the control module is properly connected and not obstructed.
  • Flickering can sometimes indicate an unstable power supply or a faulty connection.
• 4D Speakers Not Rotating:
  • Ensure the audio system is active.
  • Check the connections to the 4D speaker units.
  • Verify that no physical obstructions are preventing rotation.

For complex issues or if you are uncomfortable performing these checks, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional automotive technician or contact Auchikj customer support.

8. User Tips

• Professional Installation: While the kit is designed for non-destructive installation, the complexity of disassembling and reassembling car interior panels, along with electrical connections, makes professional installation highly advisable. This ensures optimal performance and avoids potential damage to your vehicle's interior or electronics.
• Test Before Reassembly: After connecting all components but before fully reassembling the interior trim, reconnect the battery and test all lighting functions and modes via the central control screen. This allows for easier troubleshooting if any issues arise.
• Cable Management: Proper routing and securing of cables are crucial to prevent rattles, interference with moving parts (like seats or windows), and potential electrical issues. Use zip ties or automotive-grade clips to keep wiring tidy and safe.
• Explore All Modes: Take time to explore the various color and dynamic modes available through your car's infotainment system. Experiment to find the settings that best suit your driving mood or preference.
