Active Sound technology for your BMW E39
BMW’s Active Sound technology is an innovative solution that lets you customize and optimize the sound of your vehicle. Based on Eberspächer’s Active Silencer muffler, which was originally developed to dampen sound, Active Sound technology produces additional sounds that are perfectly matched to your vehicle’s performance.
How does the Active Sound technology work? It uses vehicle data such as engine speed to calculate an appropriate sound that mimics the behavior of a more powerful engine. This information is transmitted to an amplifier and then sent to an actuator that plays the sound. Active Sound technology can either be installed at the factory or retrofitted.
Unlike conventional sports exhaust systems or sports rear mufflers, Active Sound technology allows you to customize the volume and sound. You can conveniently adjust the settings via steering wheel buttons, a remote control or an app. If necessary, you can also deactivate the technology completely, for example during a phone call.
Active Sound technology is available on most BMW models, both diesel and gasoline. From the E46 for the 3-series models and from the E39 for the 5-series models, you can use this technology. BMW also offers a complete system, the M Performance exhaust system Active Sound, consisting of exhaust system, sound system and control unit.
With the Carly OBD device, you have the ability to perform various coding and customize your vehicle’s Active Sound Design (ASD). ASD is a system that amplifies the exhaust sound inside the vehicle through the speakers and creates a sportier driving experience. With the Carly OBD device, you can adjust various Active Sound Design settings and customize the sound experience of your BMW E39 according to your preferences.
Active Sound Design mode for your BMW E39:
- Disabled: This setting allows you to completely disable Active Sound Design. Note, however, that in this case an error message may be displayed in the ASD module. To remove this error message, you can reset the ASD module to the factory settings, as the error was caused by disabling the ASD.
- M5/M6: If you drive a BMW M5 or M6 model, you can activate the specific sound mode for these models with this setting. (Codable in ASD)
Active Sound Design volume settings:
- Very quiet: This option reduces the volume of the Active Sound Design to a minimum.
- Quiet: Allows you to moderately reduce the volume of the Active Sound Design.
- Medium: This setting provides a balanced volume for Active Sound Design.
