I had an Audi eTron and I know you could remove a fuse to disable the sound. Maybe it is the same for a Taycan. The trick is finding out which one.I just hit the 1.000 km milestone and I find the car amazing. Flawless so far (even the PCM is not as bad as I thought).
But I do have a minor problem and I wish somebody can suggest a fix to it: I would like to mute the sound that I hear every time I accelerate/decelerate at low speed. It drives me crazy when I have to travel in the city traffic (often for more then an hour).
I know that alerting pedestrians is necessary (and an acoustic alerting system, aka AVAS, is mandatory, at least in Europe) but I do not see why a sound must be audible in the cabin.
Perhaps it can be disabled via PCM? Or by a dealer with some hidden setting? Or it comes from a dedicated speaker that can be destroyed with a hammer?
I have found the same question in other threads, but no solutions as the discussion veered off topic, so to be clear:
- I am not talking about the optional “sport sound” (I do not have it)
- I do not think it's just "natural” sound from the motors (my Tesla is quiet, especially at low speed).
- It's not the AVAS coming from outside (again my TESLA is quiet despite a much worse insulation)
- I know that many people do not mind that sound, or even like it and want it louder. I respect their opinion.
Yes, the sound is the same as the x-wing. No, Luke woudn't turn it off, he would just fly over traffic lights; with the Taycan I am stuck with evrebody else, just sounding a bit different...I love the sound.. makes me feel like im flying an x-wing! did luke try to turn off his xwing sound? (even though there is no sound is space)
No end to the the craziness on this board. I remember the early adopter days - sadly long gone.
I have Bose too.
Nothing to do with Bose either.
