Does a 540i xDRive have Active Sound Design?
Guys does the 540i xdrive have active sound device? I could have sworn I saw it using BimmerCode. But I upgraded my firmware to get the full screen CarPlay Active Sound Design is now missing using BimmerCode. Did I just imagine (used demo) that the 540i has Active Sound? Does the 540 even have Active Sound? Is there a way for me to check for this? Thanks in advance.

According to this site, for a 530 there is ASD:
https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/g...ign/1VnYRZO99v In >2019 builds (at least X3, X5, so maybe >2020 for G30), we switched to the Receiver Audio Module (RAM), which has the ASD module + amp + tuners all in one. It's also the reason there aren't any plug and play amps right now. https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/g...tem/1VncbdteKV RAM: Receiver audio module The receiver audio module (RAM) is a control unit and part of the infotainment. The receiver audio module (RAM) is available in different versions and power levels:
AM, FM, DAB, SDARS tuners (US version)

No, 540 has it too. Pretty sure everything has it, minus the 530e (and even then, it may have it, it's just off by code).

I read somewhere, unconfirmed, that because of the mild hybrid system they removed the ASD. Since the car can move without the engine running or at idle. ASD causes a disconnect with the drivers perception, or something along that line.
I'd like to know for sure as well. I can say, IMO, the 530 is "louder" in the cabin than the 540. But that could be simply due to the 4 cylinder working at higher RPMs and not due to ASD. I also notice than the audio system doesn't lack as much in the 200hz range like the older ASD Harman Kardon systems did. |

My 2017 540i did not have ASD.

Not sure really. I know mine showing in bimmercode. After I did MPPSK it disappeared. Dealer told me as part of the update it's been disabled.
