Engine Sound Faked?

[madcow68]

I have a 24’ CT5 V and been hearing that it has a fake engine sound that can come through the speakers.

Is this true and if so can it be disabled?

I know for the 4 they have noise cancellation that selectively gets rid of high frequency engine noises they determined to be unpleasant.

Here's a link to a place selling ANC bypass connectors so you don't have to snip any wires. Looks like you'll need to scan your vehicles QR code to get a list of your installed RPO codes so you get the correct harness.

When it comes to adding aftermarket equipment in todays modern rides you will come across ANC or Active Noise Cancelation. This is the process of introducing antiphase to the interior of the cab in an attempt to combat ambient road noise or wind noise. The main problem comes from adding low bass...

Whoa this is a very interesting development! The 5BW definitely has fake noise and there are other threads about how it is basically impossible to disable without essentially bricking your infotainment but I had never seen anyone discuss this sort of plug. I wonder if it would work.

I notice with mine that if motor is running and I'm not in the car, when I open the door it sounds much louder suddenly.
