Mine is pre-facelift.@madwazzabi is your car pre-facelift? If so you need to look into the leuchte channels in BCM adaptation. You'll want to do some searching for googling for "BCM leuchte," and read up. But part of The various channel names corresponds to the plug and pin of the BCM.
Most of the channels will be assigned already for your existing external lights but there will be some unused channels. They will not have anything assigned for their light function. They may or may not have their other fields populated, max brightness, when they come on, bulb type etc. since all that is ignored for unused channels.
You can pick an unused channel and wire into it or tie into an existing channel. You can't give the channels custom names. I've never seen a slider for rear doors, for example. But, for example, there is a channel for panoramic roof ambient lighting. You could assign that function to a spare pin and wire it to your rear door lighting. That slider would then control those lights.
If your car is facelift things are somewhat more complicated, and I can't help you, lol.
To my understanding from Mr-Fix tutorials, you can program to add the sliders and he had successfully tied LEDs to sliders associated to instrument lighting for cubby and cup holder lights but that channel is still only tied to headlight/parking light.
My worry about using one of the leuchte channels is that, from scanning my OBD11, I don't see a "Lasttype" associated to ambient lighting so no amount of programming will get me what I wish to achieve.
