Sage Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) I requested info from Ford, through my Service Advisor, on how to dis-able the enhanced exhaust tone in the cabin while in "Sport" mode. Also, kudos to my Service Advisor for working with me on this. The attached shows a couple of replies from Ford with a couple of possible ways. It will only take a couple of minutes to read the two replies from Ford. Hopefully it will be readable as it is pretty small print.

jamie1073 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Where are the microphones though? I would love tro disable this, I had a Focus ST and you could unplug the system on that but it was a tube that fed from the engine not a microphone.

ONEDGE16 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 No need to disconnect the microphones. Youcan easily do it using Forscan. See following thread: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage Posted April 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) OK, per all of the above. I did see one forum member state they changed the code (per the above post), but could not really tell a difference. Maybe there were some others that documented that it worked and I just miss it. I wanted to see if Ford could come up with something. Also, since I do not have the interface/part or forscan itself to use (I do not have a windows laptop either) to change the code listed above, I decided to see what the dealer could do for me. The dealers price was not that much more than me getting everything else to change a code. I do not plan on doing anything else that could be possible with forscan, just a personal choice. If I ever change my mind, there are great resources on this forum. I let the dealer turn off the ANC and ESE and I feel that worked. Also, the tech stated he could disable ANC and ESE separate from each other. Not really knowing for sure which might be better, I had him disable both. For me, the dealer did it with information from Ford and documented what they did. Now I do not have any concern with Ford stating I changed their software, which caused any issues that could come up later. I realize one could change a code back using forscan, but not easy if one is traveling away from home. ********************** I have been activating sport mode at different speeds and I do not hear any enhanced tone from the cabin speakers. The change the dealer did for me worked as far as I can tell. I still suggest, if you want to try the changes, talk to your dealer and see if they can verify what I found out. My ST was a very early build and who knows what may have changed. Edited April 12, 2019 by Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
