Enhance Your Driving Experience with BMW F10 Active Sound Design Coding

For BMW F10 owners seeking a more engaging auditory experience, the Active Sound Design (ASD) system offers a unique opportunity for customization. This technology, present in certain BMW models, modulates and enriches the engine and exhaust sounds, amplifying driving pleasure, especially in modern, quieter engines.

How Active Sound Design Works: ASD continuously analyzes engine parameters and generates synthesized sounds that emulate a more robust engine. This sound is then projected through the car’s speakers, creating a sportier sound profile within the cabin. Carly allows you to fine-tune this system to your personal taste.

Carly OBD device unlocks various coding options for your BMW F10’s Active Sound Design:

Active Sound Design Modes:

Off: Completely disable Active Sound Design. Note that disabling ASD might trigger an error message in the ASD module. This can be cleared by reverting the ASD module to its original backup settings using Carly.
M5/M6: Activate the distinctive sound profile of BMW’s high-performance M5 and M6 models, injecting a more aggressive engine note into your F10’s soundscape. (ASD module coding)

Active Sound Design Volume:

Very quiet to Very loud: Adjust the ASD volume across a spectrum from barely perceptible to intensely sporty. This granular control allows you to tailor the engine sound to your driving mood and environment. (ASD module coding)

With the Carly OBD device, you can precisely tailor the Active Sound Design to your preferences, creating the ideal auditory backdrop for every drive.
