Can you adjust volume on Electronic Sport Sound?

[GregN]

I just went through delivery and the Taycan Immersion at Porsche Experience Center Atlanta... Amazing. But one question I had nobody there could answer - "can you adjust volume level for ESS?". My on-boarding host, Immersion driver, and tour host and demo lap driver all thought that you could, but nobody could figure it out. We were driving the Turbo S for the Immersion, and I would have liked it a little louder - seemed too quiet /subtle to me. Of course I'm coming off an AMG 63S CLS, so used to that loud growl....

I don’t think so.

it cannot be adjusted, I would dismantle it if I could

 

[Talisker]

if the increase in volume is for your benefit, fold down the rear seats

It’s not but I’m sure on the next one they’ll probably offer that

I am sure they are looking for subscription FODs, so this can be an easy one for $5/month, with 3 dots and a -5 to + 5 slider, as an example, to pump more speaker volume for it.

Nope

Its gets louder in Sports+
Think the GTS also has louder sound option. I wish there was a volume control or other sound options.

Nope- at least I haven’t found a way to do so, rather regretting it as an option

I have the GTS and had a 4S with it - different sound in Sport Plus. Either way I would not switch it on - pointless and annoying gimmick (standard on GTS otherwise I wouldn't have included it).

I had an i4 for a year and the artificial sound was nearly bearable but not quite. The Porsche artificial sound is appallingly bad in my view and I have it permanently switch off. Not everyone will agree but I’d rather spend the cash elsewhere.

Thanks CxM - best answer!

Is there a way to have the GTS Sound set to the "on" position in the driver profile? So, just like the seat and sunroof settings, it activates when you open the car door.

Thoughts?

I think you can do it in "Individual" mode?

You can definitely assign it to a shortcut button so it's easy to turn on and off.

I quite like it

Nope.

You always start in Normal drive mode and therefore must select one of the others where ESS is available after powering on the car..

Sunroof settings - unless VLC offers something different but not sure what that might be

Personally, it's a good thing ESS is awful.
