Yet another question from me
« on: 23 February 2025, 11:54 »
Whilst playing with the driver profiles, I noticed that the settings can be adjusted in individual mode.

I can guess that interior engine sound is fake noise, but does it play this through the speakers and does it only work when the infotainment is switched on?

What does the exterior engine sound do? Are there valves or vanes in the exhaust pipe system that controls the sound?

Couldn't find anything in the manual or online.

I guess that must be the pops and bangs you get in Sport mode.  You can test this by selecting sport and revving it whilst at a stand still.  You get the pops and bangs, as you also do whilst driving in Sport mode when coming off the throttle at higher revs.  I guess the Exterior engine sound is that probably!!
