I'm on the "regular" 3-series forum and have asked numerous times for help disconnecting this annoying ASD module. No help there since most, especially those with the N20, want even more sound. I have a '16 340i with HK, just despise the noise, and hope the procedure shown here is essentially the same. (Anyone know?) Thanks so much for posting this video.

I got a 2017 M3 earlier today and had the dealership disconnect the annoying Active Sound module. What a difference!!! Do yourself a favor and just have that disconnected, trust me!

The ASD is so loud that even if you think you aren't really hearing it, it's there and it will give you a headache on long drives.
I waited 3 months before disabling ASD and so glad I did. I decided to disable ASD after one of those drives and both my wife and I had a strong headache for no reason. After talking about it, both of us felt constant pressure in our ears during the ride. After you disable ASD you will still hear induction noise and exhaust but only when there's really something actually going on and from the real thing. |

But question, when you take the car in for service and updates do they not have to plug it back in to perform correctly? Or do you guys do it prior just in case

I disabled ASD via coding. I also reset everything back to original before service and recode my stuff after.
It also keeps my coding "skills" sharp by doing so. |

You don't need to reset it if it's going in for service.

I had mine decoded. I used to think I was impressing people with my big growly engine. Dammit! Why aren't you people looking at me when I drive by with this big engine??? I demand you respect the big engine and look at me!!
Now that it's off I realize it was just voices in my head (or my cabin). The voices all seemed so real... I hope the meds help... It's so much better now.

Just unplugged ASD after my adapter that I bought would not connect.
Took OP steps but I had a bit of a harder time. Was able to create enough space to push up the black level but removing it was tougher. I took out the tab at the top near the trunk but I am not sure if that created enough space. Regardless, i was able to then get my hand close to the module and it came out fairly easily. Will take it for a drive the next few days and see. Thanks OP |

Just disconnected active sound on my 2 wk old MY17. It's a lot quieter inside now. Fake doesn't resonate with me (pun intended).
Thx for the DIY guide. Next step will be to disable rev-matching and other nannies. |

I had ASD for about a year ... then got the JB4 ... and turn off ASD (BC stalk button) ...
I still prefer ASD switched ON than not And ... I also find keeping the exo flap permanently open (via JB4), causes some noticeable lag compared to keeping the exo flap at Auto. |

A friend told me a story about how he disconnected his ASD module, and when he brought it in for service--without asking for any special troubleshooting etc--they noticed the fault in ISTA (their diagnostics software) that communication was impossible with the ASD module (which is its own independent ECU in the eyes of ISTA and the car).
They proceeded to troubleshoot for apparently a decent bit of time until literally uncovering that the module had been disconnected. The dealership didn't charge him but did give him a stern slap on the wrist and threatened to charge if it occurred a second time. This anecdote might be helpful to some of you, either to encourage coding it off, or to encourage you to let your SA know it's unplugged before bringing it in for routine maintenance. (If ever bringing it in for a software update, be sure it's plugged in, or they may charge you to plug it in.) |
