That's no good. My dealer did it for free at the first oil change.

When I brought the car in the service advisor didn't even know what ASC was or that my car had it. From what he told me, it took a technician a while to find the setting and turn it off. Once they find it in the menus, it is nothing more than a toggle button.

I'm still surprised at how little some dealerships know about this second gen car. I've had my car serviced twice now, and each time I hear the same story about how mine is the only one second gen BRZ they see and they aren't that familiar with them. Strange because I know one of their salesmen owns one, but rarely drives it.

I had the same experience when I took mine in.

However, I'm still surprised that we can even do things like turn off the steering responsive headlights in the UI, but not the ASC.

Subaru of El Cajon had no idea how to turn it off, lol so I unplugged it.

I unplugged mine the other day to try it but didn't like it and have plugged it back in. I know it just adds engine noise and isn't a noise cancellation system, but with it unplugged I found noise in the cabin seemed to be much louder, or at least it was way more noticable making it seem louder. I found it harder to hear the podcast I was listening to and over all just didn't like how much more pronounced and unpleasant the road and wind noises in the cabin seemed to be. The engine/exhaust was VERY quiet though.
