This article applies to all Renault Grand Scenic (Bose and Non-Bose) or Baby Scenic (Privilege and Standard)
The Bose and Privilege Ambient Light (after this I’ll just call it ambient light) is a beautiful light accessories that synchronised and controlled by Rlink. These ambient light are emitted by LEDs that emit (I’ll call it emitter) multi-colour: red, blue, green, yellow and violet.
Physically there are 2 forms of emitters:
- Emitters with 3 LEDs (RGB)
- Emitters with 1 LED but can equally emit 5 colours.
By default, following are places where the ambient light can be located:
1. Gear stick base (gear) |
||
|---|---|---|
2. Front left door handle (FLH) |
4. Front right door handle (FRH) |
|
| 3. Front left door pocket (FLP) | 5. Front right door pocket (FRP) |
|
6. Rear left door handle (RLH) |
7. Rear right door handle (RRH) |
|
8. Rear left door pocket (RLP) |
9. Rear right door pocket (RRP) |
However the last 2 locations (RLP & RRP) only have the slot to store the ambient light, but there is no hole to let the light passthrough and shine the door pocket.
Out of these 9 locations, only location 1 is using emitters with 3 LEDs, the rest are using emitters with 1 LED. Therefore location 2 - 9 are interchangeable from physical form point of view.
- Bose: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7
- Privilege: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and in some batches also have 3 and 5
- Multisense. This is needed to select the driving mode with ambient light set
- Activation. This is needed for Non-Bose and Non-Privilege as well as for Bose and Privilege that wants to have location 3 and 5
There are 3 switches available to turn on/off the ambient light:
a) Dashboard - This switch will turn on/off location 1
b) Front - This switch will turn on/off location 2, 3, 4, 5
c) Rear - This switch will turn on/off location 6, 7
| Strip above glove compartment |  |
|---|---|
| Strip on the doors |  |
| Strip 3rd row sidewall |  |
| Footwell |  |
| Strip surrounding overhead light. |  |
| Around speedometer |  |
| Under front seat |  |
- For Bose and Privilege, no activation is required as they are already activated.
- Once location is decided, material is acquired (for strip, you need to buy "fibre optic", a kind of transparent plastic tube that can transmit light), and switch to connect to is determined, just tap the data wire from the existing nearest location.
- Decide location to install
- Activate the relevant location (Dashboard, Front or Rear)
- Acquire materials (LED emitter, fibre optic)
In Singapore, installation can be done at AutoTrend workshop in Toa Payoh. Make appointment with Daren from AutoTrend workshop in Toa Payoh for "Morning slot" and ask for Renault LED ambient light installation. For Bose/Privilege, usually he can install 2 new locations for 2-2.5 hours. However for non-Bose and non-Privilege, it might take 3-3.5 hours for 2 new location.
