INFINITI Q50/Q60 Fake Exhaust Noise? *How To Turn Off*

In this video I cover how to turn off the fake exhaust sound that comes from your speakers during acceleration in your VR30 Q50 or Q60.

[@upstate735]

You have no idea! I believe you saved my sanity with this one buahah. Thanks for all the knowledge you share, very much appreciated. Im locked in with an appointment at AMS in Chicago late Feb. To have all the goodies you've recommended taken care of(all parts purchased through them and will be installed and tuned there) can not wait!. I'm in upstate NY so it's about 12 hours away. Thanks to you and some cross researching of my own I won't have to make that long trip multiple times with any luck. Again, thanks for the countless hours you saved me in research! And grats on hitting the 11's mark.

[@DOHC2L]

Hello UpState Ace I know this post is 3 years old but I would really appreciate an update as to your car and your experience with AMS. I have a stock 22 Red Sport 400 and I'm considering taking it to AMS.

[@extraterestrial]

Great job on the video! I turned mine back on last night just to see how it would enhance the sound with the intakes and it sounds aggressive AF, but I do like hearing the real sound better than the amplified sound. Plus with that on you can't really hear the air getting sucked in, and that's half the fun

[@alexg2066]

So after a few tries... I got this to work. In order for it to be done, the radio has to be turned off. Then, follow the steps as reflected in this video. I have a Premium Q60 with Bose system just for reference. Oh, and thanks for the vid, MH!

[@BWellCoaching]

Thanks for the vid..hated that fake exhaust sound 😊👍🏿👍🏿

Jus bought the car thought it had a bad turbo cause of the whining noise then I turned this off and it went away thanks 💪🏽

[@senanfouad7650]

If you have a q60 non bose and If you cant find that option. Look under the rear third brake light you will see a tiny brown connector. Unplug it and you should be fine.

[@johninnh4880]

One of the very first things i did on my car. Thanks for showing this! It's a must do. The Bose system does some noise canceling by leaving the ANC on and ASC off (that's the fake exhaust). ANC is a good thing. Tire noise etc.. But with my AF FI exhaust I want to hear it. Being aware of what's going on with your motor is important. Note: the exhaust note with the "fake" noise "on" is linked to the mode. So Sport + it adds more cabin noise, vs. Standard mode. Noise canceling is only available with the Bose radio upgrade. Again, useful GOOD video. One ? What's on your smartphone screen in the video????

Hi! Thanks for this informative video. do you know is it possible to skip the "Warning" screen for the top screen every time the car is switched on? It's really irritating and redundant having to press OK all the time just to get past the black screen.

Thank you for posting this, just confirmed it works on 2018+ MY. You have to be in accessory mode, if you try to do it with the engine on it won't work. The VR engine is really quiet but it sounds so much better without fake howling sounds. I like it much better, it was really the only thing about my 2018 Q50 RS that I didn't like.

ASC (Adaptive Shift Control) - This feature enhances gear selection by using a lateral acceleration sensor to detect changes in the road, such as hills and turns. ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) - This feature monitors cabin noise with 2 microphones and generates a 180 degree out-of-phase audio signal to the speakers in the doors and rear woofer to reduce low frequency, continuous sounds without altering the audio signal. ASE (Active Sound Enhancement) - This feature generates sounds according to engine speed and driving modes that enhance the quality of the engine sound. Becareful
