Enhance Your BMW E39’s Sound with Active Sound Design Coding

BMW’s Active Sound Design (ASD) is an innovative system designed to amplify the engine and exhaust notes inside the cabin, creating a more engaging and sporty driving experience. While some appreciate this feature, others may find it artificial or prefer a more genuine engine sound. With the Carly OBD device, you gain the ability to fine-tune or even disable the Active Sound Design in your BMW E39, allowing you to tailor the auditory experience to your exact preferences.

The Active Sound Design system works by using vehicle data, such as engine speed and load, to generate synthesized engine sounds that are then played through the car’s audio speakers. Carly gives you precise control over this system, offering various modes and volume settings to customize the sound profile of your BMW E39.

Carly Coding Options for BMW E39 Active Sound Design:

• Disable Active Sound Design: For purists who prefer the natural engine sound, Carly allows you to completely disable ASD. It’s important to note that disabling ASD might trigger an error message in the ASD module. However, Carly also provides the functionality to reset the ASD module to factory settings, effectively clearing any error messages caused by deactivation.
• M5/M6 Sound Mode: If you want to inject a dose of M-power into your E39’s sound, you can activate the M5/M6 sound mode. This setting, codable within the ASD module, simulates the iconic engine notes of these high-performance BMW models, adding an extra layer of sportiness to your drive.

Active Sound Design Volume Control:

Carly takes sound customization a step further by allowing you to adjust the volume of the Active Sound Design to your liking. Choose from a range of volume levels to create the perfect auditory atmosphere inside your BMW E39:

• Very Quiet: Reduces ASD volume to a near-silent level, ideal for a subtle driving experience.
• Quiet: Moderately reduces ASD volume, offering a less intrusive sound enhancement.
• Medium: Provides a balanced ASD volume, suitable for everyday driving.
• Loud: Increases ASD volume for a more pronounced and sporty sound.
• Very Loud: Maximizes ASD volume, delivering the most intense and aggressive sound experience. This setting is also codable within the ASD module and is perfect for those who crave a truly immersive and dynamic driving sound.
