I have an Awron display and I can close the value if required using that display but that is only needed when I am in sport, sport+ or traction noisy mode. In comfort mode it is closed and it does what it should do. If you feel something is wrong then remove the ASD harness and test again. You can then easily see if it interferes or not. For me the set up is brilliant now, I have no complains whatsoever. MR |

ASD bypass cable installed but unsure
Can anyone with the ASD harness installed tell me if you still here the hissing/faint noise when the stereo is off? I thought with the ASD installed there would be no hissing or noise through the speaker.

The difference was bigger than I thought, but I'm still 2000% onboard getting rid of the ASD. It was "ok" during a spirited drive, but when I'm commuting to work, the drone (which is 95% from the ASD) is really annoying.
Oh and with the ASD, any recorded audio while you're on a cruise or at the track will sound like a video game car, thanks to the ASD. It's like the microphone picks up the ASD well but not the outside exhaust and engine noise. When I watch my go pro or dash cam video it sounds like a car in Grand Turismo. Here's a video of my car revving with ASD bypass harness + M performance Exhaust + Dinan Stage 4: |

I removed the fuse for the ASD today, after a 20 min drive i decided to put it back in. Was quite surprised at the difference but i actually prefer it with the ASD enabled. If i had an aftermarket exhaust i may have a different opinion though.

My amp died for 2 weeks my car was audioless; I am indifferent on ASD. Without it, the car was less dramatic than I thought ...and the only added benefit was mentioned above, less drone which allows you to hear rocks getting thrown at your rocker panels as your new ambient sound instead

Been driving round for 3 weeks now with ASD Bypass fitted. Initially I wobbled, as I was immediately thinking I was missing the enhanced sounds - but now I see it clearer. I wasn't missing the sound, more I had just gotten used to it as ASD has been on since day one car pick up.
3 weeks on and I have now gotten used to the new sound and MUCH prefer it. Love the mechanical noises, can hear the turbo in action much better and as the guy mentioned a few posts back, a hell of a lot more of that nasty gravel whizzing away in my wheel wells. Sport + mode & windows down (plus a tunnel if you're lucky enough) and all the great sounds and loveliness are right there with you. For my new enhanced sounds I have a Fabspeed sport cat currently winging its way to me and will likely go for the new and improved MPE once released later this year too.

Very nice BishUK I'm going for the Arka sport cat on the standard exhaust. I would be interest to hear the difference some time.

Installed the TechnicPnP ASD bypass harness yesterday, and it's a vast improvement.
The things I didn't like about ASD were all fixed: 1. The ASD sound was too loud and shrill in Sport and Sport+ mode above 2000 rpm. 2. With the window down, ASD and real exhaust were out of sync, creating a weird "echo" effect. 3. The HK system centered the ASD sound field in middle of the cabin, which was terribly unnatural. Without ASD, the exhaust sound is still audible but no longer annoying. Yay. And the sound comes from where it should: behind the car. Installation note 1: The big Torx bolt (fastening the chrome tie-down ring) requires a T40 bit. I didn't have that, so I just got the DeWalt "7 Star Bit Tip Set" for $7.00 at Ace. Cheap thrills. Installation note 2: Don't try to jam the trunk weatherstrip straight back down onto the edge of the sheet metal. Give it strong downward pressure, but also vigorously "massage" it toward the front and back of the car with your palms. This helps to work it downward and overcome the friction. After about 2 minutes there was no hump in the center.

So, what is the sound difference (in cockpit engine noise and audio from the HK) between coding out the ASD and installing a harness? And what is the difference in those two parameters between leaving ASD alone--on one hand--and ONLY coding it out, no harness--on the other?
I've got a coder showing up here soon and I'm wondering.... |

The music signal still passes through the ASD hardware after coding its output to zero. And apparently the ASD electronics aren't as "hi-fi" as the rest of the audio system. The TechnicPnP bypass harness removes the ASD electronics from the audio system.

Oops sorry. It was the "... and audio from the HK" that threw me off there.

I just coded this out and love it. If I want to hear the car I can roll down the windows. But for commuting why would anyone want a droning sound the whole time.
The best part is you can now hear the turbo and engine as well as the exhaust from the back of the car as opposed to just constant exhaust note in the cabin. Sounds like things are even better with the actual bypass harness but not up for pulling the trunk apart at this point. Highly recommend this move. Down with fake news. |

+1 Took about a week to decide, but I love knowing what the car is actually doing, rather than hearing what the stereo tells me the car is doing. And getting rid of the highway drone...... priceless.
