I just put an aftermarket amp and sub in my eco and now at about 1500rpm I have this annoying hum coming through my sub. There has to be a way to disable it. I called my local ford dealer and they had no idea what I was talking about.
Yes that is correct. Fuse 27 controls the amplifier. I wasn't sure how much of the stock system you were still using in your current setup.Pulling fuse 27 controls your audio. I could pull it but it would take my stereo with it.
SWEET! Awesome info Swperry. I had read there was a mic in the car that is used to control the active noise control, didn't know if it was separate from the blue-tooth or not. Sounds like it is. Great!Ok so today I took it in to ford to have them disable it and after 2 hours they gave up. Tried to use IDS but that didn't work. HOWEVER.....after a bit more research online I discovered that there is a small mic located in the headliner just above the back seat. Pull your headliner back and unplug that mic and the noise is completely gone! Problem solved!
It's in the map lights box. I'm not 100% sure where it is located in there, as the audio guy that installed my amp is the one who found it and pulled it out. It's a small squarish black mic box. My sub now works perfectly, and the mic could easily be put back in if I ever got rid of the stang.I have the same situation. Where is the mic on the convertible? Anyone?
Picked up a 2016 Ecoboost Premium Convertible with the Shaker 500 system. Sounded....umm, well, bad. Desperately needed some upgraded bass......at a minimum. There weren't many affordable plug-in-play options for the '16 Convert, so I went another direction. I added a pair of 10" Pioneer subs (TSW261S4 firing up) to an off-the-shelf $40 prefab box designed for Jeeps (Amazon). Then added 2-farad cap, Fosgate Prime (R500X1D) amp, an LOC from the passenger rear speaker and sure enough; I had that engine rumble coming through the 10s. Is was really bad/obnoxious from about 900 RPM to about 1900 RPM.I have the same situation. Where is the mic on the convertible? Anyone?
I can see the mic on the headliner. I tried to pull it down but it is impossible, as there are plastic panels on each side of the headliner that seem to help keep it in place. Any suggestions, photos or even a short video would be helpful.Ok so today I took it in to ford to have them disable it and after 2 hours they gave up. Tried to use IDS but that didn't work.

I second this motion! I've yet to yank mine out and a short tutorial or picture may make it a bit easier. Anyone willing to help?I can see the mic on the headliner.

OK, I found two videos that show exactly how to disable the active noise control, but I cannot post them here because it seems that I do not have enough posts in this forum...I second this motion!
