DIY: Disable BMW Active Sound Design (ASD) without affecting audio/radio system
![]() Featured on BIMMERPOST.com ![]() Here is how: Turn down the back seat. You have to remove the covers on the floor (the big one) and the left one. You also have to lift the rubber seal a little beat so that you can remove the backplane. Almost everything is fixed with press buttons which you can remove safely. Finally you can use them again to put everything together. After you remove the left cover you have access to the ASD module. Just unplug the connector and fix it with a cable strap. We're currently working on a switch/button to enable/disable ASD from the rear trunk ![]() ASD with the original exhust is fine. But with the Hamann it's that loud that it isn't fun anymore! ![]() |

I too have just had my Active Sound Module disconnected by the stereo shop which is just completing an over-the-top sound system for me (i.e. I wasn't 100% satisfied with the B&O I ordered). Secondarily, with my M Performance (Akrapovic) exhaust, I thought it wise for both these reasons to do away with Active Exhaust Sound, etc.

Why not just code 3000 ASD-Configuration - Funktionen - Baureihe to F021 ?

Very cool. Now hopefully these "purists" can shut up about this system.

Thank you!
I refused to buy a car with fake engine sound....if this works, you might have just put BMW back on my shopping list. I still have a problem with BMW not letting you turn it off in the first place or developing better sound dynamics with the exhaust system but this is great news! |

I do understand that the modders my want to turn it off but HELL I would love ![]() I wonder if it possible to ADD it to current tech package. I looks like it may just be an additional source to the Sound system that is on at all times?
