Disabling Active sound on a lease car - safe to do?

Hi all,

thinking about disabling the Active sound on a M340i. Probably via BimmerCode app.

The car will be on a lease. Therefore, the owner is someone else (a bank).

Do you reckon it is safe to do so? I am thinking whether there is some kind of built-in alert mechanism in SW of the car to let BMW/owner know I have been messing with the SW?

Because I am pretty sure any sort of mods on a lease car are banned.

Just turn it back on before you turn it in, no big deal

I coded my 2017 F30 340i to do things like close/open the side mirrors on lock/unlock and a few other things. I returned my car with all of the coding still programmed and received a clean bill of health from BMW, no fees required on the return of my lease!

Right now though afaik, you cannot disable Active Sound using Bimmercode on the G20 models.

Thanks for the info! Do you happen to know why it is not possible to disable AS in G20 right now?

I was wondering if I even had it in my M340... it was so obvious in the 330 I tested but didn't seem to notice it in my car.

I can't find any mention of it in the "Owner's Manual".
