I have the XLT model it came without ambient lighting but after I programmed sync 2 now it show in my screen. My question is can I connect two led stripa to the interior fuse box to be able to control the lighting through sync 2 ambient lighting controller
without making any issue to the car computer?

You can probably do that and it should not be a problem for the computer. However, it may be too much extra load on the circuit and cause the fuse to keep blowing or even damage that circuit. Honestly, I would not mess with it.

Thank you HEYMAN for your reply I appreciated.

I think I will not do it, but even if I connected via fuse extension still it will effect the circuit?
Sorry if I ask too much but I like to have ambient lighting but I do not want any outside wiring. I thought I can make it look like factory.

Yes even with that extension it would still be pulling the extra necessary power through that circuit. Personally, it is not something I would play around with.
