Hi spyderboyant,
Will be very interested in all of the ambient lighting parts that you have available. We should catch up as I'm in Sydney as well.
I'm Gerard who helped Booba with his BO installation.

Damn, I have 20+ q7 4M VCDS scans and only one, a retrofit, with Matrix and steel springs!
I wasn't going to go down the ambient lighting path but Andy suggested it as he likes it. There is quite a bit of work and lots of pieces. The biggest PITA is the fact you cannot get the ambient background strips for the doors (and the wiring diagrams and factory info are cryptic - but I sorted all that out now).You need to purchase new doors cards $$$. Having said that I have shaped some perspex rods in their place and they work fine (not as good as the original however). I have the silver top/dark silver bottom trim and have just got some brushed aluminium trim so will be selling quite a bit of the ambient lighting with the silver finish so if your mate is interested let me know. He will need:
a. Drivers vent with light strip. RHD variant
b. passenger AC vent with light strip - expensive. RHD variant (I bought a LHD ambient from ebay.de and RHD standard LED ebay.co.uk and swapped the LEDs) *** Note LEDs are internally numbered. You need the correct ones for J519 to send colour info to them! They are on a LIN BUS
c. Light strips for side of centre console (they fit into existing centre console). Need to purchase
d) top centre console with light strip and RGB LED. RHD variant required (I'll be selling one of these - silver colour)
e) back light strip for back of centre console (I'll be selling this with above)
f) exit warning door panels (x4) << If you have exit warning/side assist you already have the correct ones.
g) 4 x LEDs for exit warning strip (I'll be selling 2 of these)
h) 4 x RGB LEDs for door ambient/background lighting (I'll be selling 4)
i) 4 x makeshift perspex rods to go into door for above LEDs (I'll be selling 4 of these)
J) Vag Can Pro (VCP) to download updates to dataset to J519 to instuct 5F on ambient light settings for Q7 4M (Yes J519 tells 5F over CAN). Once I updated my dataset on J519 the menu changed in 5F to the correct one!
then the looms..... Power for lights and also LIN bus come from J519 at bottom of passengar a-pillar. This needs to be run around car.. since you did B&O it shouldnt be that difficult.
