Enabling ambient lighting with Forscan or 4D Tech programmer?

Hey all!

im new to this forum. I have a 2013 MKz 2.0T I bought back in 2015 that has 51k miles. My question is:

 

My car is base and does not have ambient gating function in the sync 2 system. However, I see the light strips everywhere the light should come from. This got me thinking, can I simply just enable the ambient lighting with Forscan or 4D tech programmer? I’m not sure if all MKZs have the hardware installed and just need to be activated via the two options mentioned above. I appreciate you guys help in advance!

Hi WindowsXP. I believe (but am not 100% sure), that the strips you see do not have the actual LED's installed behind them. So programming will not help.

 

Perhaps one of our tech members will jump in with more precise information.  Good luck.
