Active Noise Control with Subwoofer
Hi Fellow ES Drivers,
I know there's a thread or two about sound systems in the ES but I cannot find this specific info.
2019 ES 350, standard audio
I'd like to upgrade the sound system - most likely by just adding a sub woofer in the trunk OR I may upgrade components as well.
My question is that I know the car has the active noise cancellation, which will interfere with aftermarket sound systems. Has anyone figured a way to disable this permanently?
The audio shops I've called have no clue.

I came across the same issue when my subs were installed last year. I also called multiple audio shops and no one was able to provide a solution then. I'm shocked that a year later a permanent solution isn't available from audio shops.
I found that ANC is only active when the cabin is closed. Lightly tapping on the "tilt-up" button will disable the ANC while the sunroof remains closed, PM if you want more info.

I mean a Camry or Avalon are within 1-3db of the ES at the same speed and they don't use ANC.
Maybe Lexus doesn't have it tuned as aggressive as other manufacturers. Kia cadenza acura rlx and quieter with ANC.
I see ANC as a band aid for the noise source and cheaper way to make a car quieter.

You do it the professional E46CT way (he posted the discovery a few months back)
Use Carista dongle and $9.99 subscription (program other features while you're in there) disable in one click =) No getting shops to terrorize your car with pliers and cutters.

The noise cancellation only operates between something like 1500-3000 rpm at a low frequency. It’s not fully related to the microphones. You can disable it with the Carista app and dongle inexpensively. On my 300h it doesn’t make an audible difference to me with the sunroof cracked or not so I’m assuming it’s not a very strong system and I’ll happily disable it if I put in a sub.
