Did the USA get pedestrian alert fake noise coming from the i3 like the europeans did? If so, how can we deactivate it?

Not yet. I think the U.S. requirement for these environmental noise pollution devices has been postponed. A better solution than an automatic noise-maker that is always on below a certain speed (~18 mph?) would be a very gentle horn that the driver could use to alert pedestrians, cyclists, etc.CCJ said:Did the USA get pedestrian alert fake noise coming from the i3 like the europeans did?
That's pretty cool. What does it sound like for you guys?nitramluap said:CCJ said:Did the USA get pedestrian alert fake noise coming from the i3 like the europeans did? If so, how can we deactivate it?
Not sure about the USA, but here in the Antipodes it's enabled by default. Fortunately it can be toggled on/off in the iDrive menu and (fortunately) it can also be set to one of the 8 programmable memory buttons.
I've done just this. I can toggle it on/off with a button press - no need to navigate to the menu in iDrive. The downside is that when it's deactivated there is a big yellow light on the instrument cluster warning you that it's off. :-/
O nice. That's coolnitramluap said:It’s so subtle you barely notice it. I only turn it off if it’s the middle of the night so I can sneak out in (almost) total silence - the motor isn’t totally silent anyway.
It sounds like the background hum from the Starship Enterprise. Not annoying at all.
Thanks for the reply for the USAalohart said:Not yet. I think the U.S. requirement for these environmental noise pollution devices has been postponed.

I frequent my local train station large parking , when people unknowingly block while walking .
I have to turn on my music, so they know , i am being blocked. Not their fault.
