Coding Engine Sound on G05

I was pocking around HU_MGU module to see if I could find anything about Active Sound Design (ASD) and while I didn't yet see anything about ASD, I did come across two interesting FDL parameters:

DISPLAY_MENU_CONFIGURATION_ENGINE_SOUND
​​currently = disabled [00]
​​try = enabled [01]
​​DISPLAY_CONFIGURABILITY_ENGINE_SOUND
​​currently = nicht_aktiv [00]
​​try = aktiv [01]
​​also exists = aktiv_no_sport [02]

I set enable and aktive respectively for both and now have the ENGINE SOUND menu in Car/Settings/General per pics. But ... the menu items are not selectable, so it's not going to be that easy.

Any ideas on where to look for next steps?

I expect that's the internal cabin engine sound coming through the audio equipment

I've just learned on another thread that M50i has that menu active from factory. So, anyone out there with an M50i (and that menu functioning) that's into coding willing to supply your FA, SVT, and, most importantly, full set of NCD files for differential analysis?

Weekends are a great time to help out a fellow coder. Anyone with an M50i want to send me your full set of .NCD files? Please DM.

Ok, there might be another way. I believe there is a way to reproduce the stock NCD files from a VIN. So alternately to NCD files, please consider privately and with assured confidentiality sharing your M50i VIN and I'll try to try produce the files myself from that.

Maybe find a dealer website and pull the vin from their inventory? Like this 2020 BMW X5 M50i : 5UXJU4C08LLE45523

I can share mine, but it might be a week or two before I can pull all the files. Is there a more streamlined way to read all the coding data than 1 at a time?

Awesome. Yes, there is a simple way to grab all .NCD files. In ESys Coding, Read FA and Read (ECU) SVT as usual. Then right click the SVT[VIN] at the top level and choose Read Coding Data. When done, Save FA, Save SVT and send me those. Then also send all the .NCD files in Data/CAF directory — those are files from each ECU read by Read Coding Data above.

Please send me a DM for email address.

Thanks!

Bimmercode can turn on active sound now (it doesn't seem to add these menu items though, so may try to turn on the menu items now that I have active sound turned on. Bimmercode turns it on in an ECU called RAM if that helps.

Seems no as no expert mode on that ECU, so you would need an esys setup to do it.

I am not convinced these engine sounds menu items are directly related to ASD — ASD FDL parameters are structurally and localized very different from these engine sound parameters in the coding.

For these engine sound settings, I haven't made much progress. I had done a few comparisons against synthetically generated coding files from M50i VINs and nothing jumped out. I would really prefer to compare directly against a known working M50i FDL FA, SVT, and full NCD set. Anyone?

I played with ASD in my car, noted in another thread, and decided to leave ASD turned on:

I`m also very interested in this! I have Xline and tried to turn on ASD with the Bimmercode app but nothing happens.

Do some of you know how to solve this? I`d really love to have this feature in my car!

Have a look at this summary: https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=25495306

You can try in Bimmercode. If it doesn't show there (which could be the case if hardware is not present or coded out by VO coding from factory), I will look up the FDL parameters for ESys coding it when I get a chance.
