MINI COOPER S F56 ASD CHANGE BIMMERCODE

[@tomh7335]

Ben, you’re the man!! Enjoying your videos. I just purchased a 2019 F56 a month ago. I bumped up the ASD as you described in this video. WOW!! SOUNDS GREAT!! Reminds me of the fun I had in my 425 horse Chevy 50+ years ago. I’ll be 74 next week, but still young at heart. Keep up the good work!!!

[@BenRolfe]

Ahh, thank you very much :) Happy birthday for next week!

[@nicholasbabeaux2052]

Hey Tom, I also have a 2019 mini Cooper S, I have done a few things with BimmerCode but one of the awesome things was having my fog lights on while highbeams are on, and then also when you have your low beams on it dims the angel eyes to 49%, I bumped it up to 100% so the angel eyes are super bright when driving at night along with my low beams it looks beautiful

[@surturiel]

It works! Also, the impression that I have is that the previous owner somehow had it deactivated but now it's super loud. (NA F56S with JCW pro tuning and exhaust)

[@BenRolfe]

Ahh! Thats fantastic! May be something worth passing to others then if it’s due to it being deactivated by someone else. Thanks for the update 😁

[@surturiel]

@@BenRolfe It also works with the North American B46, no issues. Only problem now is that the JCW valved exhaust is less noticeable, because, well, the car got louder...

[@BenRolfe]

Makes sense, I think it’s one of those things where you either like it or you don’t. Because I have the stock Cooper S exhaust with resonator delete I don’t mind it at all, but if you spend money on a decent exhaust the last thing you’d want is to cover the sound up.

[@SouthLincsMiniOwnersClub]

I suppose it's a great sound for passengers but the fancy noise from the exhaust is for spectators.

[@BanksSteven]

OK, so in removing the small fabric panel from the boot panel on driver's side, I have determined that in fact; I have the ASD module. So now I just need to find a person who has a '19 F55/F56 S (LCI) model that has ASD working so that I might be able to copy the settings they see when in Bimmercode. Some of you don't like/like ASD. I have it (physical device installed) and want to at least experience the effect so I can determine if I like it or not. Thank you!

[@abu4321]

Thanks Ben, done on my F56 Cooper S. My ears might not be as good but can tell a slight difference. Not had the chance to boot it in 2nd and 3rd to hear at higher revs ;)

[@BenRolfe]

Hey 👋 that’s fantastic! You’ll definitely notice a difference when you put your foot down 😁

[@YM-qx9ig]

Hi ! Thank you for your super informative videos. Do you have a page or a link for the combinations of ASD that works on Mini F56 JCW? In particular to know if we can put a noise of M4 or certain BMW in the place of the current sound? And also would you have an explanation of the different code names present on the application, especially in the ASD part? Thank you so much !

[@JBsGarageHowTo]

Great videos mate! Would love to see more Bimmercode stuff for F56!

[@BenRolfe]

Thank you 😊 I’ll be releasing some more videos soon!

[@SouthLincsMiniOwnersClub]

So would I. I bought the OBD and paid for Bimmercode and all I did was turn off the seat belt warning sounds. I'd like to have my money's worth from it.

[@Rishan7575]

Hey Ben, thanks for this tip, but sadly doesn't work on my F60 2019. tried some different engine variants and car models, but it just disables the ASD. any help?

[@user-pe7rc4in8b]

great video man. could you make a video on how to change the maximum power and torque in sportdisplays? for example from 200hp and 320NM to 250 & 350NM like in the jcw sport displays.

[@kl468]

Interesting that quite a few people have done this now. I believe I was one of, if not the first to figure out how to do it, and I wrote a forum post about it on MiniF56 in early 2018

[@BenRolfe]

I remember seeing a forum post on there titled “Coding: JCW ASD sounds”. I myself struggle with worded instructions and prefer video based instructions which is why I created this. Thank you so much for your help ☺️

[@jasonharris2543]

Ben you was definitely right about the mid pipe delete on my cooper r50 when you did your resonator delete on your cooper s, it sounds so much better I love it

[@BenRolfe]

Thank you so much ☺️ it’s definitely one of the best mods I’ve done! And for the price, it’s a no brainier!

[@cyprianskiba8768]

So this just amplified the engine sounds more through the internal speakers?

The car is generating engine sounds and plays it though the speakers. This is standard on both Cooper S and JCW.

[@arjendriesen2005]

Turned ASD off, music from my sound system is clear now and not contaminated with fake engine noise. Still hear normal driving sounds, that enough for me

[@dshn]

Yeah, same here. I had problem with aftermarket woofer, it was super loud until I turned off asd.

[@RolandoCappas]

I’m waiting for the obd2 adapter to ship so I can deactivate the ASD.

[@Oplix]

Ben does Active Sound depend on the volume of the head unit or does it work independently of it?

[@jeffster15]

Hi Ben, thanks a lot for your great videos! I try to increase the ASD with Carly on my Cooper S but doesn't make a difference, I'm not even sure I have the ASD since tire noise is very loud. Can't barely hear my engine/exhaust. Was it the same for you at the beginning?

[@RawGreySun]

does it work if you have a JCW? WHAT WILL IT SOUND LIKE?

[@BenRolfe]

If you have a JCW it will sound the same

[@teggsy2165]

Sounds good but my Cooper S F56 is registered 1/3/2015 and i'm thinking the JCW's never launched till May/June 2015 so may not have the Module or whatever in the rear that generates the sound,i have the HK system i wonder if the fake sound it produces differs at all with stock audio and HK speakers ? So anybody done this on 2014 F56 B48 before the JCW launched 2015 June.

[@heydejuju]

Hi Ben, on my 2017 F56 Cooper S (france) I don't have the asd menu on bimmercode. Have you ever heard about that ? maybe because I don't have the driving mode option ?

[@BenRolfe]

Hey 👋 this may be because you don’t have the driving modes. Try enabling sports mode and then the ASD after

[@robbyvrs]

So this can only be heard from inside the car? I have the Pro exhaust which sounds so good i disabled the ASD on my Works 210

[@BenRolfe]

Yeah, this can only be heard inside

[@Carlosnufc]

How do you connect I pad to ob11

[@oscar19391939]

Hi Ben hope your well. Iv tried this a couple of time and had no issues with BimmerCode it’s done what it’s should do! Apart from change the sound I’m hearing! All the codes now read as yours, but I’m struggling to hear little if any differences between green and sport! 🤷🏼 is it possible mines broken or disconnected! Iv noticed on my parents JCW when you switch from normal to sport there is a audible change in the engine note! That has standard exhaust so no valve. I’m at a loss as to why I’m seeing no change

[@Watchreviewblog]

Does this ASD affect engine drone at all on the highway?

[@BenRolfe]

You'll only really notice it if you sit in sport mode. But if your in Green or Mid you'll hardly notice it.

[@BunkerMan-95]

Awesome videos mate! I have had my cooper s a week now and loving it. The only question I have for you is. Is there a way I can keep the exhaust as loud as it is when you start up from cold? It sound like it closes a valve but I have had my car up on a ramp and had my hands all around the exhaust and can't find a solenoid, so is it turbo side or egr? If you know can you make a video? Thank you Keep up the awesome content and look after that sexy car 😆

[@BenRolfe]

Hey 👋 thank you ☺️ I’ve heard that it’s the engine warming up the exhaust, how true this is I’m not entirely sure. But I do know that you can code it out so when you start it up it sounds muffled but unfortunately you can’t make it stay like that.

[@BunkerMan-95]

Dam! Thats a shame. I have followed your ASD Config video and that does make a hell of a diffrence but I still want more noise haha.

[@BenRolfe]

I get where your coming from, the resonator delete is a good way to go and it’s one of the cheapest exhaust mods you can do.

[@karyl372]

Do you always have to take out the OBD once code has successfully been installed?

[@BenRolfe]

Not at all, you can keep it in however you can’t close the cap as the reader is too big.

F056 with B48 would be the exhaust difference, and presumably ML and OL are the tuning differences? 192 vs 228?

[@BenRolfe]

Yeah, B056 with B48 is the exhaust note, but ML and OL is the volume of the note. ML = "Mittlere" (Middle) UL = "Untere" (Lower) OL = "Obere" (Upper) KL = "Kleinste" (Lowest)

Hey, maybe this is a stupid question but i have a Non-S mormal Cooper (136hp 1.5t).. is there any way i can build in an active dynamic sound through the speakers, because in the EU i cant do resonator deletes and a sport exhaust is expensive af. Appreciate any help :)

[@BenRolfe]

The ASD is a module located in the rear of the car and only available on the Cooper S and JCW models. If I’m completely honest I am unaware if it is possible to retrofit it into One and Cooper models. If it was possible, you’d have to purchase the ASD module, wiring loom and then code it in but I’m not entirely sure if this is possible.

[@MuffinMario-nv8rq]

I think imma contact my local mini dealer and just ask friendly

Hey 👋 changing stuff with Bimmercode won’t void your warranty. But just make sure you swap it back after.

Hi! I just picked up a 2016 Cooper S with the JCW tuning. Is this something that will just add more to the sound I already have? Also have you noticed any issues with it since it’s now been a few months since you’ve done the coding?

[@BenRolfe]

Hey 👋 congrats on the purchase! You’ll love it. The JCW tuning kit only changes the horsepower and also the exhaust if that was included in the JCW tuning package. I think that MINI wouldn’t have adjusted the ASD and it may still be stock Cooper S, so you’ll definitely notice a difference. Mine is still working perfectly fine, just remember to create a backup in the Bimmercode app before you make any changes just in case.

This is probably because your car is a 2014 and the F56 JCW came out in 2015. So the earlier F56 likely weren’t loaded with the JCW sound software. If you were to get a software update (i-step) it would probably work
