Yes if you mean Sport, Normal, Comfort or Eco options under engine sound.

Yes - just wondered as drove a 7.5 the other day that made no difference which sound setting was selected. So could be disabled or unplugged.

A question for those in the know........

When it's set to comfort mode, in the car settings menu, is it still active, or does comfort mode effectively switch it to 0 % ?

"Would like to disable but don’t have the kit".......Unless your hands have dropped off you have the "Kit" to disable it within 5 minutes.

Personally, I felt Comfort only reduced the volume by about 20%. Eco probably by about 40% but even then it still left an unpleasant diesel-esque growl low down the rev range in town which is just irritating and not even a particularly nice sound. In sport mode and caining it on the motorway is a different matter. But on balance, I prefer it off.

Only recently got a GTi and it sounds quite weird and unnatural. I tried reversing while in sport mode and it sounded like I was revving the car lots. Still; not sure if it was me or the car. Haven't had an issue since switching out of sport mode

Edit// So is the noise on constantly? I thought it was only on with sports mode?. I don't know how much of an effect all the mode options have yet tbh

If you turn it off does it sound like a 'normal' engine then?

Absolute tat, it’s like something a chav would go and buy from halfrauds on a Saturday!!! OBDeleven sorted mine out quick time

I turned off with the Carista App, best thing I've done to the car so far.

It sounds like a 2.0 TSI turbo with a couple of big exhausts bolted on. Not sure why they thought it necessary to pump the fake sound in to be honest.
