Coding off Accoustic Pedestrian Warning on G30 with HU_MGU (iDrive 7 Lite)
Hi There,
I recently bought 9/2019 BMW 530e (MY2020 G30) with iDrive 7 Lite (HU_MGU) and I'm trying to switch off Accoustic Pedestrian Warning (a.k.a. Space Shuttle sound outside to warn pedestrians under 30kph). I coded "VSG_HMI_MENUE" under Headunit module which enables the Checkbox option in iDrive but clicking it does nothing. The checkmark doesn't get unchecked. Any hints to make this work? I understand it should allow one-time deactivation of the warning sound but re-activates upon next drive. This would help with those late nights arrivals in order not to wake the whole neighbourhood. The next step would be to code the car to remember the setting. Forum members in i3 section were able to code this on NU_HBT_EVO but I couldn't find anything for HU_MGU. Thanks! |

They likely made coding this off hard or impossible since it is a legal requirement to have this sound. I am honestly baffled every time I see a post like this asking to turn it off. Never understand them. You can't really hear it from inside the car unless you have the windows down and even then it isn't all that big a deal. The sound isn't any louder than an ICE car driving by so I'm not sure how it bothers your neighborhood...
It is designed to allow people to not be hit by your car who may be visually impaired or otherwise distracted... Leave it alone |

The sound is a legal requirement in the US and the EU and the country in your sidebar is an EU member country so it would be a requirement there too... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electr...warning_sounds Quote:

If anyone is interested: 2 meters away, car was standing still and I measured 68 dB using my iPhone app when car was in Drive. When Reverse was engaged, I measured 75 dB standing at the front of the car 2 meters away. Although not scientific test, it’s pretty loud in my book...

I bought a new XF when it was a requirement to have DLR lights but my car didn’t have them. Jaguar said that when the regulations come in they only apply to new models so the LCI would have to have it but pre LCI wouldn’t. Perhaps other countries make the regulation apply for all cars from the date it is issued. |

Did a bit of digging on the web and it is the same as Jaguar said about the DLR’s. The artificial noise had to be installed for all new models from 19 with a 2 year transition period and then from 2021 all cars manufactured. https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/1/20...ules-2019-2021 |

A glance at this MY2020 in the UK lists the car as having this as a standard safety feature. As “eDrive Exterior Sound”. https://usedcars.bmw.co.uk/vehicle/2...7-69e8ccf78673 I am convinced that if your car is missing this sound BMW forgot to add hardware during your build. But I could very well be off. Here in the US we get a car spec sheet with our car that notes everything included. Mine has this on it. If you got something similar in the UK perhaps that can clarify it. |

I used Bimmer.Work and it shows for me as: http://bimmer.work/ 4U9 Acoustic Protection for Pedestrians But I am surprised it wasn't on your build even though the UK BMW site lists it as a standard feature. |

In case it helps anyone else...
At a complete loss, I emailed Bimmercode support about this, who directed me to this setting: Receiver Audio Module > Expert mode > VSG_WAVE_FILES > change to "file_14" ...to get rid of this annoyance on my G20 330e. Unfortunately, whilst this did get rid of the VSG sound, it had an adverse impact on the audio function / iDrive system, causing it to crash at startup, resulting in having to revert the setting back to "file_1". Having another poke around, I coded the following setting, and hoped for the best: Receiver Audio Module > Expert mode > VSG_FUNCTION > change to "inactive" And hey presto! VSG gone, no errors, and no adverse impact on anything else! Last edited by Chadm; 03-19-2024 at 09:00 AM.. Reason: Minor correction |
