Does anyone know if there are any changes for the 2023 model that would prevent from working? I see someone commented in aliexpress about changes within the 2022 year

I cant imagine anything would really change unless the design of the sunroof or headli er is different, which is probably unlikely, or if the plug in the footwell has changed, which again, I dont think they would do.

Could I be wrong.. for sure 😆 but just thinking from a cost perspective... why would they change such things if they probably still have thousands of plugs, led lights, etc

Again, i can be wrong lol

Will this work on the F95?

Looks like the pano roof is the same

This would only be for owners without SkyLounge right....
since I believe the SL leds are in the same/similar spot (have't looked but looked at it when I had the SunRoof Tinted).

Amazing work

It's really cool. Any one in ILLINOIS has got this done? I need some helps for installing.

wondering the same thing. Has anyone with a sky lounge tried this out? I would like to add these strips which I think will make the SL pop more but also provide some ambient lighting when the cover is closed.

Not yet but I’m in the greater Chicagoland area and may be trying it out in the next few weeks once the AliExpress order ships
