So I *think* I’ve found the answer to disabling ESE on my Wildtrak. My vehicle uses the DACMC module for ESE, not the ACM. This has only two addresses and by changing 7D5-01-02 from x1xx to x0xx it seems to have disabled ESE.
ESE was barely audible when I was using the internal amplifier as...
I’m hoping someone can help.
I’ve downloaded the most recent version of Forscan and only see the ACM config option for as-built. I’ve tried not loading a profile, deleting my old profile, and even resetting the ACM to factory config. I still can’t see the non as-built option for ACM, whereas...
My OBD2 cable finally arrived today. I set the HU outputs to line level and disabled EQ. I can confirm that the output from the HU now has a flat frequency response.
Having thought more about it, it makes sense that the factory DSP would be quite complex, especially in reducing positive cabin...
I should have mentioned, I measured both with and without 4 ohm dummy load resistors on the head unit outputs. No difference other than the bump around 20 kHz, leading me to assume the output chip in the HU is class D.. Due to the way I’ve installed the wiring and amps, bypassing them isn’t a...
I had a short amount of time available today, so did some measurements using REW. The source was white noise, originally using a Six Studios generator app and then an AAC file to confirm. This was via an iPhone connected to the Ford Sync 3 8” head unit with the tone adjustments set to neutral...
I have a huge selection of drivers on my shelves. In a previous life I was an amplifier and speaker designer, and am aware and appreciative of your own work in this regard. I’d prefer to be using the Satori ring radiator tweeters that I have on hand or even SB65s as mids in 3-way fronts, but...
I’m late to this thread, but thought it’d be worth me adding information to this thread for the benefit of others coming across it.
My Ranger - a MY20.75 Wildtrak 2.0 biturbo diesel in Australia - doesn’t seem to have engine sound audio augmentation, so I can’t comment on that. What I can...
