How to change ambient lighting in jeep grand cherokee 2023?

I recently purchased a 2022 Wagoneer Series II. I was told that the interior ambient lighting could change color. The Uconnect assistant/customer service rep stated my model was able to perform the function and to refere to the owners manual. The owners manual states that this function can be changed through the Uconnect now Wagoneer App. I’m unable to find the particular way to change the lighting color. Any help would be great

only the GW can change the light color. Wagoneers come with just a standard preset color.

Just bought a wagoneer series 1 today which was not suppose to have ambient lighting. But mine, to my surprise, has it in the dash and it glows. I do see the same ambient light strip in my doors but they don’t glow. Is there a way to make those work? Just because it’s the same doors as a series 2 and 3 (except the plastic trim) I believe there should be a easy way to set this up.

Having taken apart the door, that is only partially true that it’s the same door. The upper third of the door is comprised of three trim pieces that screw together Lego style on to the universal lower two thirds. That is to say that the door trim supplier doesn’t just make one door with everything and then stick on a wood grain applique for the Series II/III, giving the Series I all of the same features.

The «light pipe» you think provides LED Ambient light is there, but that is not lighting. It is a diffuser cover and clear plastic fiberoptic pipe that disperses light when applied at the ends of the unit, and those lights and associated wiring is not installed. In the 2022 Series I it didn’t even have this part installed and there was just a blank cutout where the frosted diffuser plastic now fills out. Further, adding the LEDs — one per end — and wiring harness won’t mean that plugging it into the door module will even be recognized by the LIN BUS and light up. However, taking apart a Grand Cherokee’s, it appears to just be part of a different larger wiring harness tapping the same wire that feeds the door handle light, so no LIN BUS feedback except on the Grand Wagoneer where it has an ambient light module that connects to the door module.

Short and skinny, is you need the unknown wiring harness part number, and two LED assemblies to slide in to the light pipe assembly ends. I have not been able to identify and find the part number for the FULL wiring harness including the two leads to these extra lights, but you can just solder your own from 20ga wire or order the door handle harness — 68080566AA — and solder two of those in to the main door harness of each door. The missing lights are 100% identical to the door handle light and you can pop out the blanks installed in the light pipe presently, and pop in 2 door handle lights. Only pins 2 and 3 are used on the non-grand since it’s just white ambient, so you can solder directly on to the pins and use a vampire tap to connect them to the door handle light loom.

The first picture on the marble is a Grand Cherokee light tube LED module, the second is the Wagoneer door handle light side by side with the blanking plug they installed in the ambient light pipe. The lights, and housings, are identical save for the color, so it’s a direct swap if you have any basic electrical ability.

I’ve already done the modification to mine, but in a different way that is about 1/20th the cost. If I get around to uploading a write up I am going to name it «The Poor Man’s Series III Mod». Tongue in cheek because I much preferred a Series I with Convenience Package to the stripped down features of the Series I Convenience that came in the Series II. The Series II rims are nicer, but nothing worth paying many thousands more for, so it came down to the ambient lighting which I knew I could do myself.
