Be really careful driving the truck in Sports+ cold. This is a turbo car and you can do legit damage on a cold motor.

If you want it louder on start then just to the exhaust valve mod without the risk of damaging your motor.

Since today you can buy the virtual sound generator in the connected drive store. Might be better for your engine 😜. But not the real thing off course.

Thank you for the advice,

I tried doing sport individual with everything on comfort (including transmission) except engine on sport plus.

I tried changing the engine profile while driving between comfort and sport but didn't feel anything except the exhaust. Can any one confirm whata the difference between engine and transmission in sport individual??

We have all connectivity working in my country except the connected store, for some reason its not available.

But us this the same as the engine sound option in settings? It can be changed between comfort and sport where it pushes engine sound through speakers

I think so.

In the petrol engines it is the flap in the exhaust. In the diesels it is a sound generator through the radio.
