They probably just rubber stamped Subarus drawings for the active sound control. Integrating their own solution into the Subaru electrics wills be way more effort and not worth it.

Oh I don't know, I feel like there hasnt been any major difference in their working relationship, Toyota still provide some bits of tech and parts from their supply lines - I wouldn't be surprised if someone asked them where the sound enhancer tech came from they then said Toyota, put it that way.

Agreed! Can’t wait to hear more aftermarket exhaust clips!

This is exactly what I keep telling people but everyone thinks Toyota was super hands on with the second gen.

I won't be too surprised if that very connection can be reused for a data logger / AIM Solo

I mean it’s likely a canbus line so it should be flexible.

These cars don’t use a fiber optic system like MOST do they?
