Called them and they booked me in within a couple of hours, same day. The install took less than 30 minutes. Very professional. Highly recommend!

BMW i3 ambient lighting installation, generation by generation.
Radio King does ambient lighting installation on every BMW i3 generation we see: I01 (2013–2017): Ambient LED strips in the doors and dashboard trim, colour and brightness from your phone, wired on a fused feed; the Professional navigation untouched; I01 LCI (2018–2022): Extended ambient lighting — footwells, door pockets and centre console — added alongside the factory strip, controlled from your phone; the NBT Evo (ID6) iDrive untouched. From €799. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

It depends on the generation. I01 (2013–2017): from €799; I01 LCI (2018–2022): from €799. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which BMW i3 years can have ambient lighting?
I01, built 2013–2017 (Professional navigation with NBT iDrive on a 10.25-inch screen): Ambient LED strips in the doors and dashboard trim, colour and brightness from your phone, wired on a fused feed; the Professional navigation untouched.

Two to four hours on the BMW i3 I01. You can wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit ambient lighting on a BMW i3?
On every i3 we work on — I01 — the kit runs off a fused feed and the factory ambient lighting stays; colour and brightness are set from your phone.
Do I need to book ambient lighting for my BMW i3, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (I01) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
