Is the Maxhaust Bridge required?

Maxhaust Ambient Light can be used with the Maxhaust Bridge app, but without Smart Control.

Can the system be controlled via my vehicle drive profiles or other buttons?

Control via Smart Control / vehicle buttons / drive profiles is only available in combination with the Maxhaust Bridge.

What is Smart Control?

Smart Control combines Ambient Light with the Maxhaust Bridge.

With the Maxhaust Bridge, you can assign Ambient Light directly to your vehicle buttons and drive profiles.

What is scene control?

Scene control means that multiple settings or functions are grouped into a “scene” and can be activated all at once with a single command.

Instead of changing each function individually (e.g., color, brightness, animation, or mode), a predefined combination is saved and recalled via the app, a button, or automatically through a drive profile.

Example from the automotive world

Scene “Sport”
Red lighting
High brightness
Dynamic animation
Sport drive profile enabled

As soon as this scene is selected, all defined settings are applied at the same time.

Scene “Comfort”
Blue lighting
Dimmed brightness
Calm glow effect
Comfort drive profile

With a single tap—or when you switch drive modes—the entire system automatically adapts.

✔ Can be automated (e.g., based on the drive profile)
✔ More convenience and a cohesive overall experience
