Does Active Sound Design Include Sound Cancelling?
Opinions vary for sure, and to each their own, but I deactivated the ASD on my M4 Convertible some time ago, and last night on my new M550i.
One could argue the need for the enhancement on the TT Inline 6 M4, but the M550i TT V8 sounds so good without the sound enhancement, even in Comfort mode, that I don’t know why BMW felt the need to enhance it. Again, I’m sure some owners love it, others may not even know it’s fake. It was very easy to defeat with the BimmerCode app. Question: does anyone know if defeating the ASD on the M550i has any effect on the active noise canceling, assuming this car employs that technology? Driving the car, it’s still very quiet, so I can’t tell yet. |

I don't believe it has that as I am sure they would have advertise that feature. Also would microphones be required inside to make that work ?
I've no doubt that feature will make an appearance on a car at some point , no doubt it is in development. |

Maybe the optional B&W system has it; check the sticky thread for speaker setups at the top. You’ll see it has a microphone that the other setups don’t. All cars have ASD and ASD is just playing through the stereo (again all models of that too) at certain RPMs. I wouldn’t think turning that off disables the B&W features.
