I will post comparison videos later between my default n55 sound and s55 sound 8j comparison to a 228i video with M4 sound, a 235i video.with M4 sound, an f30 with M4 sound, and an actual M4 sound and you will see all videos except mine will be similar.

I was following this thread with interest because I could swear there is no Active Sound in my 2015 M235i at all. Even changing modes between Comfort and Sport doesn't change the engine/exhaust sound in the smallest. And I must tell you that if I'm wrong and I do have artificial sound in my car, it's very poorly programmed cause it's not nice at all; sometimes I'd even say it's droning

My other car - the Golf R - is another story; the active sound is so prominent (in Race mode particularly) that one cannot have any doubts. What's interesting is they (VW) aren't using the audio speakers for that; the resonator uses entire windshield as the AS "speaker diaphragm"!

I would prefer that. When I accelerate hard in my M4 in Sport Plus mode the centre speaker and the right rear speaker buzz and rattle playing the synthetic engine note. Makes it very obvious that the engine is not making the noise and destroys the illusion.

did you have the stock hifi system or any bmw upgrades like h/k or alpine with tweeters in the front doors before upgrading the hifi system?

Hi,

try to change the parameters in the CAFD file of the ASD module.

i am getting that i don't have that module as i have it in my cari can see it!!!.

after i press read coding data i get that error, if i try different module everything is OK

need some help to solve that problem.

Thanks all

How to understand this list ? Each code stands for which model/engine?

just google the each engine code and it will tell you what engine it is

Its all in the mic and mic placement for you to have a true comparison.

We get the idea but don't bother.

The fact we can code a change is a good thing. If the M6 sounds best, then go for the one you like the best.

Its like adding a toping at the yogurt stand, it only changed the taste so much.

OK thanks, that was a big help.
I think the M3 and M5 ASD are too much overwhelming but the last one in the list, the 3liter diesel (B57D30 = 0F) has a nice warm not too overwhelming sound (to enhance the sound from a B49 X1 2.5d original equipped ASD)

Is there a possibilty to buy a certain device (to use on my X1 B49 2.5d xdrive 2015) to be able to play with all these settings using an normal laptop? (so i don't have to go to a garage all the time and ask them to change the code) thx again for the big help

you can get an E-net cable and E-sys software and change it yourself

Is it still working? I tried on my car 2014 m235i and it did not work.

There's nothing that Pika can't do. hopefully this still works in a 2016.

it was working for i-steps till around mid 2015's....
Seem like BMW got pissed off at people messing with it and disabled it through firmware itself... so M4 sounds it's disabled on the latest i-steps but i believe you can still disable ASD through coding if you want it.

Check your i-step and see how old it is http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...postcount=1403

if you have a 2014 it should work, unless you got your i-step flashed by the dealer

[raleedy]

For the uninitiated, what's an i-step? Also, does the 228i have ASD? If so, can it be coded?

So, does that mean there is not more M4 sound for M235i with lastest firmware?

Thanks

Yes I can confirm this. My computer was rebooting every 30 seconds. Went to the dealer and they installed the latest update to fix it. I tried to code M4 sound and I get nothing.

Just curious. How can you fault something if you don't even know if it's there. If it is in fact present in your car, yet you're unaware, then wouldn't it have been programed very well? Which I think is the objective BMW was going for, to be unintrusive and blend with the car.

As far as drone goes, Are you sure you're not confusing drone with constant positive power. Ie going down the freeway at a steady speed. Sports cars typically are tuned so that you always know what your engine speed is doing. I personally wouldn't want it any other way. I like to hear the engine and exhaust. If I didn't I'd drive a Kia or Prius. I'm not arguing with ya, just food for thought. Everyone's perception is different.

Hondas with crappy fart cans drone. A BMW? I'm not so sure.

How do I enable active sound if it's not working from the beginning?

You should be able to just code back to F022 in HU_NBT
