Sexy. It's always hard to tell what cars sound like in videos, but if that's representative of what you hear in the cockpit, I'd probably pay for this.

Can't you just code it off?
Personally I'd rather have the option to tailor what I hear and when. EDIT: I missed the "if I had it." I'm conflicted about it. I think the problem I have is that it's a loss of distinction. It's software, which everyone can have (You too can sound like you're driving a BMW) vs paying for the hardware that brings that unique sound. Still, would rather have the option. |

It connects between the head unit and the amp. I don't have a amp from factory as our base audio in South Africa comes without an amp. US spec cars come with Hi-Fi sound as standard. You will manually have to connect 22 individual wires to your amp's wiring harness. I tried to get a harness from technic, but he couldn't or wouldn't help.

Actually, from what i understand, without ASD in front of the HiFi amp, the stereo doesn't work. You can't take it out even though you don't want the ASD engine sounds. Its in series with the amp. Its too bad though... because i'd love to see them put their money where their mouth is

There's a couple of ways to do it. One intentional, and the other one probably unintentional.
The intentional way is to do HU_NBT [3000] ASD_SOUND_OFF = aktiv (default is nicht_aktiv). I have not done it this way myself, so maybe someone can verify ... I usually just set my engine type to one of the ones that are not supported, e.g. ASD [3000] ASD-Configuration - Funktionen - Baureihe to F021 - i know this way works for sure |

Sounds deadening material kills road noise but also kills engine noise. So they play engine noise through the speakers so you can still enjoy the engine sound without all the nasty road noise. I like it actually. Some don't but i think its a good system.

I know the e90 platform never had this. But it has a similar head unit to amp setup.
Is it possible? Would be cool just to see how it sounds. Im always up for a diy retrofit! |

Here's the work that Lexus and Yamaha codeveloped to pump the engine noise into the cabin of the LFA and relay as much feedback about what the engine was doing to the driver as possible:
http://www.yamaha.com/news_release/2009/20091021.html That's what real engineering work looks like. BMW's solution? Just play some synthesized audio through the speakers!
