A million thank you!!! You saved me $200 from troubleshooting fees from my local auto stereo shop. It literally took me five minutes to do this and my self powered subwoofer sounds great now?

[@DanVilla7]

You're welcome glad I could help!

[@professor_farnsworth]

Oh damn. So this is why my sub has been acting screwy! I’ve been banging my head trying to figure it out. Redid my wiring, changed my ground, rerouted wires. It has been driving me insane! Thanks for making the video!

Good job taking out the ANC! I took mine out of the 18 CRV I have but I was like did I take out the right one. All those wires on the cllip made me think if I was correct but sure enough it was because of all those mics that are in yoúr car. I am glad I unplugged mine. I hear stories of buzzing and humming noise at lów rpm online but mine dont have that. So Good Job Again!

Thanks bud. Just did it too my 2022 2.0t sport. Now too get a small sub and woofer😀

[@COACHDEEP]

so i never got the whine but i get heavy reverb when turning on and off...the shop and i spent forever figuring this out... My question is, do the mics need to be unplugged as well or just this control unit because we unplugged both. If this controls them all i will plug the mics back in lol

Great video man. Was wondering where this was at! Quick question,does disconnecting this module effect anything else on the car?

[@DanVilla7]

Yes they do as far as I know

[@Never-Too-High]

How much louder is the cabin with the ANC disabled? I'm about to do this on my 2023 Honda Accord and I want to make sure this is worth it for an aftermarket sound system.

[@DanVilla7]

There's really not much difference to be honest.

[@santang63]

I get a hiss from the tweeters at higher speeds (80mph +) is that because of the ANC? even with music playing or off, I get the hiss from the speakers. Thanks!

[@DanVilla7]

I don't believe it would be related but could be wrong. Just crack the driver side window and if the sound goes away, it's anc module. It only works with the windows closed

[@405Goon]

I had my ANC removed and it worked great till I up graded my sub and now it’s back to the humming when I turn off my car? What show I do next?

[@ItsH22]

im stealing from another comment here, but they said if you hear a few seconds of rumbling after turning off the car, try turning your gain down

[@enriquerosario6494]

I had mine installed at Best Buy and if i leave my phone in the car after i shut it off , i sometimes get a bass buzz or rumble .is that issue the same ?

[@oceanliner911]

Would you know why I get distortion while using the tuner after disconnecting the anc?

[@DanVilla7]

It shouldn't effect it. Do you have aftermarket taillights?

[@JampMan1982]

Should I unplug this ANC piece even with stock stereo? Wld it hurt anything?

[@DanVilla7]

It wont but i don't see the need to disconnect it if you don't have interference from and aftermarket sub

[@raiderman28]

do you know if the 2022 honda civic hatchback has this same module????

[@jbmjbm323]

If you have a built in sub by Honda, they took it out. If no factory sub, most likely you have one of those ANC modules.

Just automatically disconnected mine, but it's only active when your windows are closed. If one is open the anc is deactivated. May want to test it out.

[@yourpcmd]

@@DanVilla7 I've tested your theory driving down the highway with all windows up and no buzzing.

[@DanVilla7]

Maybe the anc system is different on the pre 2020's 🤔 .

[@yourpcmd]

@@DanVilla7 that could be a possibility. As far as I know, the ANC works off the factory subwoofer, but since my car doesn't have a factory one, that could be the reason I'm not affected. Either that or I just got lucky. However, after doing some research, have you tried just turning the ANC off through the head units developer mode? Press and Hold: POWER/VOLUME KNOB + HOME + SOURCE Select: Detail Information and Setting screen Press and Hold: HOME + Audio Check Select: Audio Setting Set: PS to OFF Exit Developer mode (Via tapping Returns) Doing that could save a lot of time pulling the dash apart.
