Noise cancellation ? Really ?

Does it cancel out noise coming in from the rear vents ?

Other than that, my SCab is quiet.
My scab has a bit of air noise, but I can deal with it. Wonder if one can increase noise cancelling using forscan?

Finally remembered to turn it off. Haven't noticed a thing.

My 2019 XL STX FX4 w/101A does not do it & I know my hearing is bad but i had a friend listen with me. He might be deaf also I didn't ask.
I was skeptical to, until I turned it off and was amazed how much quieter my SCAB was around town. Still have some wind/road noise on the hyway but night and day in town. Also turned on ANC (the next item down on the list). Mine was off.

I had the Magnaflo Cat back exhaust system on mine installed on mine before I ever drove it. After getting it and hearing about the audio growl, I wondered how much of the exhaust noise was MF and how much was enhanced. With the factory back on, it was definitely the MF making most of the noise, and I haven't noticed the enhancement at all.

I'm really looking forward to hearing it off, when my FORscan link arrives tomorrow.

Can the parking sensor an other alerts be redirected to the separate speaker away from the audio system?

It would be like the coolest thing ever if we found out our fuel injector sound was fake audio and we could disable it. Sadly it is not. /sarcasm
Coming from a '16 Honda V6 direct injection, the Ranger injectors are quiet lol

I have a lariat with the sound upgrade. Engine sounds normal at normal Temps. But if it's cold, the fake engine noise enhancement makes my truck sound like a V12, it's incredibly stupid. I plan on having them remove it in Ford IDS. Would do it myself, but the Ford software is $99 plus requires a subscription. The car dealer said its mandatory, and makes the engine sound nice. I highly disagree.

Don't need IDS to remove it. Real simple to do with Forscan.
