Thx for the good post, you mentioned that ASD is only active in sport mode. Just making sure, So.. even if you disable the ASD cable, in the normal mode, will not make any difference? In other words, in normal mode the sound is 100% natural?Just sport mode....
yup...ASD is only active in sport modeThx for the good post, you mentioned that ASD is only active in sport mode. Just making sure, So.. even if you disable the ASD cable, in the normal mode, will not make any difference? In other words, in normal mode the sound is 100% natural?
From reading some BMW forums this is because on the non JBL system (HK on BMWs), the sound is sent via optical connection to the amp and the amp does the mixing there. On your car and mine (Jarama edition) the signal is instead analogue over regular electrical cables, and passes through the ASD module before hitting the amp.So I tried this and I have no audio. I have a 2021 without premium sound Iām guessing this only works with the premium JBL system. Because once I unplugged the module I lost all my audio
I just did this--thank you for this writeup!!! I got stuck at the same place others did, so it's helpful to read the whole thread first.Another option to consider in disabling the Active Sound Design (ASD), that doesn't require having to recode the ASD module using Bimmercode, is to simply unplug the ASD module...This only takes 15~20 min to remove 2 panels, unplug the ASD module, and reinstall panels...And best of all...It's free and doesn't require purchase of Bimmercode or OBDII module...
Unplugging the ASD module will not cause any error codes to occur as the ASD module only receives signals...The ASD module doesn't send any signals back onto the can-bus line...
Hahaha... I wish I saw this before I got the safety recall ECU update.Heads up if your ASD is unplugged you canāt get the recall update......... ask me how I know!! ?
