I've just set mine at 40% and will see how it sounds when I take it to work later.

Let me know what you think of it at 40% please when you've had a chance to listen for a bit  :smiley:

The aircon blower drowned out both radio and any other noises on the way to work.
But a 4am finish and quiet roads gave me the opportunity to test the 40% soundaktor at various engine speeds.
All I can say is it's a thumbs up. The artificial noise blends into the general mechanical background notes and it sounds unobtrusive and plausible.

Nice sig M. Ex  :cool:

Cheers for the feedback - keep it coming.

Time will tell but I'll probably give mine a couple weeks with the Sounaktor stock, then turn it down to 30/40% as seems to be the sweet spot.  If still too obtrusive then the plug can be pulled.  We'll see.

I have had mine turned to ZERO as it was unbearable. The engine still sounds nice and sporty with a very lovable roar on acceleration, the overall refinement is in a different league and I can now hear the exhausts popping away rather nicely.

Is this what your looking for Ex http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=260248.345;wap2;wap2

Im on my phone so not sure it will link properly. But here's the coding:

STG09 (Central Electronics)> Access Authorisation: 31347 > Adaptation Channels> Channel (8 )-Leuchte27 NSL RC6-Lichtfunktion C27" > "Brake light on" set (default: nicht aktiv)

 STG09 (Central Electronics)> Access Authorisation: 31347 > Adaptation Channels > Channel (10)-Leuchte27 NSL RC6-Dimming CD27" > on 100 Set(default: 0)

Auto coming home is also a good tweak.

Thanks P3, that saves me a heap of searching around.
I'd had a general nose through the sub menu drop down boxes (in German) yesterday but wasn't confident enough to try changing anything. I'll have a go at that at the weekend now I have the info to hand.

I assumed everyone had worked out from my depressed silence on the subject that I have the predicted sh!testones.

Rubbish rubber like mine. I really do dislike them.

When driving on rough tarmac, do you notice noise emanating mostly from the front foot wells and a bit more from the passenger side front foot well?
