Default Ambient Lighting Color Memory

Got a question for some of you Forscan guru's...I'm pretty decent at it...but I know some of these guys are wizards at it. So here it goes...

I replaced the single color ambient light LED's in my truck with multi color ones...now all the selectable ambient lighting works as it should. My question is...has anyone figured out how to add the ambient light color selection to the seat memory system? For instance, my 2019 Mustang GT will save the selected ambient color with the memory seat settings. So you unlock the car with the appropriate key fob and the color changes to whatever color my wife or I have chosen.

My truck is 2018 Lariat 502A with all the hardware I would think to make this work...just don't know what module needs what to make something like this work? I'm assuming the APIM would need to report the selected ambient color selection to the memory module, which is the drivers seat module correct? So I'm not sure if it's a change in the APIM and the memory module or what. Or perhaps the BCM since it's the module that actually tells the LED's what to do?

Thoughts?

Interesting, do you mind explaining what you did exactly? I'm not a huge fan of the teal ambients haha.

Here you go...basically grab the multi color LED's from the 2017 trucks and install them in place of your current single color LED's and do a Forscan program change to the APIM to enable the menu to be able to change the colors and intensity and that's it. It's not cheap though nowadays...
