Disabling Active Sound Enhancement (ASE) and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) on 2016+

Jhill

Might check the hidden menu, that's where the option is on the 16 maxima. Hold setting button then turn volumn knob till you get tonthebhidden menu and then it is in the config area. I forget exactly where but there is a YouTube video for the maxima.

This is from the 2016 AV service manual on p.85 for the Bose wo_Navi section. If I interpret this correctly they can be turned on and off.

This looks promising.

TommyC33, just curious, I have not been able to detect any Active Sound Control enhancements and I've been listening intently. When are you hearing engine/intake enhancements?

I've rented a few Mustangs and it's pretty darn apparent when you fire up a v6 and hear a v8 rumble in the speakers... Stupid actually.

I've noticed it most under 50% throttle and up, and especially above 3k rpm. It sounds like the VQ engine, but like it was recorded on and played back through an iPhone or something with tinny audio.

Do you have a link to the AV manual you referenced and where your screen grab is from?

I'm not in my car right now, but looking through the manual I can't tell if toggling that setting is doable through the service menu on the car stereo, or if you need a dealer computer to get into the menu...

That is for use with Nissan's CONSULT system, so the options may not be user settable. Any Nissan dealer should be able to do it.

What I find kind of promising is that Active Noise Control and the Active Sound Enhancement are listed as two separate features.

I just assumed it was going to be an "all or nothing" deal to disable them. And several of the reviews I've read commented that the noise cancellation feature was actually rather welcome, as it seemed to kill some of the "drone" at highway speeds that earlier models of the Nismo exhibited -- which could get tiresome on long road trips.

I don't care for fake engine sounds being played over my stereo, but noise cancellation would be fine by me to leave on.
