my system has various sources and a digital input to my aftermarket dsp which bypasses the oem dsp. if i use carplay or sirius which is an oem source i hear the fake engine noise coming from my subs

only way to get rid of it is to code it out. Lots of guys are adding hidden features with coding. those that are providing that service have the tools and ability to code out.

i am planning to code mine out but closest installer is a couple hundred miles away.

not a huge deal as i have separate digital sources but will get it done eventually
If you ever make that trip to SoCal to code out! Hit me up! I have that other Defender that Bing did before yours. I’d love to take a listen if possible.

What’s up Victor,

you're the reason i pulled the trigger with the full system and Bing for the install. Saw his FB build log of your Defender and finally got some confidence in a shop to do the build. Every other shop said they could do it but no experience

coming down to Socal but furthest would be OC.

if ever using the oem source is usually kids in the car and the subs a bit loud on. If it was easier to code out i would be done but right now i’m dealing with it

Huge difference once it’s done. If you’re using Bluetooth for phone calls so that will switch over to the OEM system and the bass output gets super annoying.

one of my bigger issues is the difference in volume from oem and Amas. Oem being much lower and when a call comes in you have to crank up the volume. have to remember to turn down before switching to the digital source.

i had called Garrett’s referral in LA for just the coding and he wanted to charge 800 bucks just for that. i have a v8 and have majority of the features. Garrett said it would be significantly less if he did.

like to get it done but not paying 800 and non plans to drive down to SD.

Bing said he might just buy the tool. that would be ideal

Go to the settings screen to see if it is set to auto-on
I cannot figure out how to adjust the “auto-hold” setting. Nor can I figure out how to disable it. I’m assuming by “Auto-Hold” setting, this is when the green “Hold” lights up on top of instrument cluster when you come to a stop?

where specifically in the settings is this Auto-Hold setting adjustment?
