Damn.
After watching the videos, I also want an actuator.
The question remains whether the TCU (Transmission Control Unit) is compatible with my PPD1.2 (03G 906 018 EM), specifically, at what abstraction level does it listen to the CAN bus?
Does anyone know? Transparency, Teamwork
... there was another T.
I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Simply hang the muffler on twice the number of rubber eggs...  Depending on the insulation of the trunk floor, it will sound more or less aggressive. Automobile Zeitzeugen: |SUZUKI Swift Sport (2008)| |Smart 450 (2002)| |Honda CB 125 F (2018)|

Hi,
Since it doesn't appear as an STG (Sequential Transfer Generator) anywhere, I don't think it can be overly complex. I almost believe that it simply extracts the speed signal from the protocol and that's all there is to it.
To my knowledge, no one has retrofitted that yet. But at MT, they are currently decommissioning vehicles – perhaps you can get parts cheaply that way  .
In the meantime, here's something to watch and listen to. I think it also shows well the machine's ingenuity.

STG 35, Aktu 35... this is currently an offer.
If I knew it was possible, I would be okay with it.
WOW.
I've rarely seen a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) shift so smoothly.
P-Max and it immediately shifts into the next gear.
Please provide the text you would like me to translate from German to English. I will then give you only the translation, without any explanations.

It already shows some "sagging" (at the end of the first gear), which I experienced in my 3AA/B7.
The poor CR is being spun around, even though it doesn't offer anything anymore.

Martin, honestly, are you really interested in such a "source of interference"? Or would you just put a switch in the CAN bus to the control unit so that things become quiet when it gets too annoying?  BKD GRF

Definitely with a "switch".
It's funny sometimes when people type "BBBBBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRR".
If they offered it properly, I'd also treat myself to the truck sound with gear changes assisted by airflow.
And with the press of a button, then complete silence  .

"Surely there are aftermarket options available (with a somewhat realistic sound?). I once had something like that in a 60 horsepower Fiesta, connected via OBD, which made it sound like a rumbling or even roaring V8. It didn't really suit the car, but it was worth it for the loud laughs you got when riding along..." Automobile Zeitzeugen: |SUZUKI Swift Sport (2008)| |Smart 450 (2002)| |Honda CB 125 F (2018)|

Perhaps he also assisted by using a toggle switch?
Furthermore, I'm not sure if there are differences depending on the driving mode, or whether Launch Control is active or not. My test drive with the GTD-DSG was simply too long ago. I didn't try Launch Control, but even with half throttle, it shifted through all the gears incredibly quickly, in just about 2 seconds. I found that impressive, but subjectively, it felt like it took away too much of the car's character for me to order it.
Quote: | | The poor CR is being rotated, even though it doesn't bring anything more to the table anymore. |
"You're right, it seems to be stuck. In my opinion, the optimal RPM for shifting is between 4,400 and 4,500 RPM. It maintains full power up to around 4,400 RPM, which is about 200 RPM above its rated speed." Gruß

AH
I've just discovered another risk lurking in my mind.
Both the radio and the climate control system are directly connected to the CAN bus.
However, you need a new CAN-GW if you want to integrate a new climate control system with the display in a 510.
If this is the case, it will quickly lead to a potentially unsolvable chain of retrofits, because the 3C was never a top performer in its class.

Here's what else to consider: As far as I recall  , the part number for the TCU (Transmission Control Unit) is different for GTI and GTD models. Perhaps your car will sound like a gasoline engine if you install the wrong one }. Gruß

Or they are different because the relevant data is located "elsewhere."
Then, even though it is generally functional, it may remain silent.
Therefore:
- too vague
- too many projects already in the queue.
- not enough time.
Menno...
I could extend the CAN bus and connect it to your device  , if I'm allowed to. Transparency, Teamwork

What does BMW actually do to make their engines sound the way they do? Are they designed that way from the outset, or is electronic manipulation also involved?
Ford solved this in the Focus ST with a hose connected to the intake system that is led into the interior. The air vibrations in the system cause a rubber membrane mounted inside the car to vibrate.  However, the forums are also full of frustrated ST drivers who want to silence these things or at least make them quieter.
I've also driven an ST and found that its interior noise level was quite loud at times. It's largely low-frequency and quite prone to resonance. Therefore, there are certain engine speeds where the speaker membrane vibrates intensely, and I can certainly understand that this could be overwhelming for more sensitive individuals.
It also has some amusing quirks: The low-frequency hum disappears completely if you open even a small side window. Unfortunately, the wind noise at highway speeds is too loud to leave the windows open for long, even just for ventilation. The membrane vibrates particularly loudly in the range between 3000 and approximately 4500 RPM – which corresponds to relaxed highway driving. There's no way to adjust the volume, removing it is practically impossible, and even workshops only install soundproofing material in packages upon customer request.

The resonance tubes can be deactivated using blind plugs.
The electronic ones are apparently even easier to connect, just by plugging them in.

Initially, the VIer GTI also used a mechanical solution. However, it was later switched to an electronic system. This has the advantage of primarily working during acceleration and producing little noise at constant speed. In contrast, the intake manifold solution makes noise constantly.
However, the actuator must be able to interact with the baffle in order to generate truly realistic body sounds. If this is not possible, any aftermarket solution will sound ridiculous, in my opinion. Gruß
