Weird audio issue!!

[TheAngryBear]

Hello all! I am at a loss. I have installed a subwoofer/amp combo unit behind the back seat on the rear bulkhead on my Wildtrak. The issue is that the unit suffers terrible feedback when the car is running and it stops the moment you open any door. It doesn't stop if you only open a window, you have to open a door for it to stop. The moment you close the door, it starts again. Any help, guidance etc. would be much appreciated. It works fine when the car is not running.

I suspect it’s ANC , Active Noise Canceling- you can disable it with Forscan - the door opening turns it off and when you close the door it enables.
It’s the microphone above your head - picking up the sub and the system is trying to cancel the perceived noise.

Since you have a Wildtrak

Look for - DACMC - Digital Audio Control Module in Forscan

Find: Engine Sound Enhancement and - Disable it.

I think you do not have a ACM (Not Sure) and its located in the DACMC instead.

Anyway - I think this specific setting is causing the distortion

When I first installed a sub in my truck, the fake engine noise was its favorite song.

Removing the engine noise with Forscan finally allowed the sub to be useable.
