PRODUCT DETAILS

Adjust BMW ambient-lighting color data without manually editing NCD bytes.

Upload a supported BDC2 or BDC3 NCD file and the editor identifies the ambient-lighting structure, loads the vehicle's existing color data, and presents it as editable RGB controls and color-scheme selections.

BDC2

Four-zone RGB editing

Edit roof light, upper ambient line, lower ambient line, and door-pocket/footwell RGB values for each supported color scheme.

BDC3

Shared color-library workflow

Edit the seven shared BDC3 RGB colors and choose which library colors each scheme uses for the main and contour/upper areas.

PREVIEW

Visualize before generating

The web interface renders a live interior preview so color assignments can be reviewed before the modified NCD is created.

OUTPUT

Create a separate modified file

The source NCD is not overwritten. The tool returns a separate BMWVetGroup-modified NCD for the technician's coding workflow.

VALIDATION // ACCESS // PRIVACY

Designed for controlled vehicle-file editing.

VALIDATION

Detect the supported structure first

Editing remains disabled until the tool positively detects a supported BDC2 or BDC3 ambient-lighting structure.

FORMAT

Binary and Motorola S-record handling

Supported binary NCD data and S2 S-record content are parsed and regenerated in their appropriate format.

SAFETY

Targeted ambient-data writes

The editor changes only the RGB/library and scheme-selection locations exposed through the ambient-lighting interface.

TRIAL

48-hour trial

Eligible BMWVetGroup member accounts can activate a one-time 48-hour trial. Administrator accounts have unrestricted tool access.

PRIVACY

No uploaded file retention

NCD data is handled in request memory and is not written to persistent server storage, the database, or object storage.

BMWVETGROUP

Integrated member tool

The editor uses the same protected account, entitlement, trial, and security framework as the other BMWVetGroup tools.
