Sound generator

[r j]

Has anyone been able to disconnect the sound generator under the headlights?

Is this the AVAS thing? The pedestrian noise maker thing?

Yes

Why do you want to disconnect this safety feature ?
Going to replace it with a Dodge Viper exhaust sound generator ?

I've put tape over mine to reduce the volume, it's way too loud and sounds like a spaceship. To bad they couldn't give it a quiet Mercedes Benz sound.

Is that a cunning German plan to kill off pedestrians? 😎

What is the process to get to them?

Where did you find it? I would like to tone down mine but can't find the speaker that is making the noise.

It's accessed by opening the wheel well liner in front of the front wheels. There are pictures (and instructions) on a post on this forum (or outlanderforums.com) from last year, other people have done this. I think I just searched for AVAS.

No need to even do that in Sarf Lundun, I've twice had people not looking step off the kerb directly into the bonnet - and that's with the sound! Fortunately, I going slow enough for there to be no injury other than their bruised ego. 🤣

People with LOUD pipes on their motorcycles say it's a safety feature...

if its already happened twice i'd change the sound to this:



for safety reasons, of course...
