GTD Sport and Sound and the soundaktor
« on: 04 July 2016, 20:01 »
So I picked up my GTD a few days ago and love it. The sound is great but I have one question.
In the individual mode I can adjust the setting for engine sound, but I was wondering if both the hockey puck and the exhaust speaker are both linked to that setting. I get the impression that they are when I play around with them but I can't be 100% certain. Ideally I'd just like to have the exhaust sound without anything extra in the cabin. Any info appreciated  :smiley:

I've had my GTD since April and never knew I could adjust the volume on the individual mode, I'll have to have a look into that when I get a chance.

You'll be able to set the engine to Eco, Normal or Sport which makes an audible difference. There's no actual volume control from 1 to 10, so to speak :)

I'm not sure the S&S equipped cars have a soundaktor but if they do it must be turned right down. All the noise seems to come from the exhaust alone.

In our 2014 GTD it's hard to tell it's even doing anything and hasn't been tinkered with. Certainly doesn't produce the noise the non S&S car I test drove did. Oh well, no matter, not interested in that thing being any louder, the exhaust sounds good enough  :cool:
