I've discovered the sound generator (soundaktor) in the Sportline models can be turned off (or more specifically the volume can be turned all the way down), and this applies to all Drive Modes. You'll need OBDeleven or VCDS coding tool to do this. I changed it using OBDeleven. To make the change using OBDEleven: Select ' Structure Borne Sound' Control Unit Select 'Adaptation' Select 'Volume of structure-borne noise actuator' You can then adjust volume of the sound generator as a percentage. By default mine was set to 100% but I changed it to 0%. With the above change the sound generator is not heard in any Drive Modes, including Sport. Very happy to have got rid of this generated/amplified noise in my 2.0TSI 190PS Sportline. And much more convenient than having to change the car out of the Normal drive mode to Individual every time the car is restarted in order to silence the sound generator. Not that the engine is particularly tuneful, but much rather hear what it is doing compared to fake noise. You can also make various other changes with the coding tools mentioned above (disable stop/start, change accelerator to more progressive setting etc). Well worth the spend. Here's a link to OBDeleven for those interested: https://obdeleven.com/en/

Hi all, New member here and really enjoying the forum. Will post up some pics of my new ride shortly. Has anyone physically unplugged the sound generator on their Karoq Sportline? I know it can be turned off through the Individual drive mode, but my Karoq always defaults to Normal drive mode each time the car is started, and you need change back to Individual drive mode. I have the personalised key as well but it always starts in Normal drive mode. It also sounds like the sound generator is still audible at certain revs and engine load, even if you turn it off in Individual drive mode. I've seen 'how to' guides for the Octavia, but removing some clips and plastic cladding at the bottom of the windscreen of the Karoq reveals a different looking setup, and I'm not sure what I'm working with or what to unplug. Any help much appreciated
