Well, didn't get any responses so I guess i'll go back to square one. Going to relocate the ground and going to try to replace the line converter..

I can't speak for anyone else, but on my 08 TL-S I had to diconnect the rear mic and the front (ANC) mic - NOT THE BLUETOOTH and VOICE COMMAND mic. I did this and have never had a problem with my basslink.

Was wondering if you guys could tell me where exactly the front mic is here that I need to disconnect? Also, which line converter did you guys use to hook into your rear subwoofer signal? I'm using this one: Scosche Speaker Level Converter, FAI-3

On mine this is what i did (note you may want to search for ANC cancel)....

From an old post... :"actually there is a separate ANC for the front and back as well as a separate HFL mic. ive done two tl's so far (both were type s's) one was an 07' (mine) and an 08'. In both i just disconnected the front and rear ANC mic's. in the rear it is a green plug off to the right side if you are looking out the rear deck (just follow the wire from the ANC to the plug), in the front you have to pull off the whole center piece which is very easily removed. In the front it is a plug located directly to the lower left hand part closest to the windshield just unplug it and go!!! If you need directions on how to remove the front piece just let me know."

Now as far as the input, we disconnected my factory 8" sub, and used those inputs to feed into the speaker level inputs of my basslink. (I believe any amp with speakerlever inputs would work) Set the sublevel on the radio to 50%... tune the sub to your liking.. your tastes without overdriving it. now you can control the sublevel with the radio.

There were some "pics of the plugs out here" just can't find em. Perhaps if some can find the links to the ANC mic pics it would help this guy out.

I fixed my issues by setting the after market amps (Input Sensitivity Level Settings) as detailed on page 18 of my owners manual.

Something is still stumping me, we are still getting the low frequency bass noise from the aftermarket subwoofer at idle/rev... I'm 100% sure it doesn't have anything to do with the ANC system because it's been completely removed. I've also tried relocating the ground already once and it hasn't solved.. Tried making any an

Also relocated the speaker wires (and this line converter box) and moved them as far away as possible from the power and gain wires.

The big thing, is that when I rev the engine the bass increases on the subwoofer.

Any ideas?

i'm having the same f'ing problem as John098tl-s. Humming when car is started.
I've soldered the connection to preamp outs, removed the stock amp, and disconnected the front and rear mic.

this is getting annoying. It's more of a buzz than sub.. and it's all speakers.. not just the sub.

thank you whoever for bumping this thread! i have had my jl 10w7 disconnected for months because of this problem. i was recently going to pay someone to look at it for me also. i just finished disconnecting the rear mic i will check back in a couple of days! thank you acurazine!

I'm starting to think what me and John has is an alternator whine. Because I get the sound even when the radio is turned off. and only exists when engine is running.

I'm going to swap out the amp and see if the amp is bad, then change the location of the ground, then ground the RCA grounds

Nice info. Do all the 09 and up TL's have this?

1islandparadise

This thread is specifically for the 07-08 Type-S. I am not sure about the 09+ TL but certain year RL's have this same issue due to their ANC also.

insang

no luck so far.. I'm starting to think noise is coming from the factory deck.

I just got my Basslink installed this weekend and have this issue. Going to do the fix tonight..hopefully I'll only have to do the rear and not the front mic too.

flytldr

Here's some info that may help a few fellow TL-S members.

Disconnect this module, and it should solve ALL your drone noises associated with aftermarket amps.

I disconnected both mics in my '08 TLS, and still had this freakin' noise.
I called my buddy at the Dealership, and here's what he sent me.



So I removed it, and voila! My nightmares were over!!



Hope this helps some of you guys!!

I disconnected the microphone from the rear light which solved the feedback problem in my Type S. For some reason it wasn't a problem right away, over time it progressively got worse.

However, I have a problem with the Sub not turning on in Radio mode...I have a powered tube in the trunk and power line runs to battery, remote to the fuse box, and rather than using RCAs to the head unit I tapped the high level inputs to the stock sub speaker wires, so I could control the volume of the sub. The sub is on under CD and Auxiliary, but when I am in radio mode the sub is not getting any power. Could my remote line be connected to a fuse which does not have power in radio mode only?

Thanks!

^^^Did you used Fuse#32 in the drivers side kick panel for the remote wire? That's what I've done on mine and its been working great for over a year.

srm16

I'll have to check tonight and move it to #32, if need be.

Thanks for a quick response!

Rock2534

A big THANK YOU to all who contributed on here, I installed my sub sat and was getting the hum for the last two days, intermittently. I just disconnected the rear mic and it is gone for now. Hopefully it stays that way!!

reppin5bmore

does this only happen if u use the factory wiring of the subwoofer? i am installing a jl audio amp and sub and removing the factory sub and amp. will i run into this problem?

reppin5bmore

will u only need to disconnect rear noise mic if you are using factory sub wires? i am running a jl amp with jl sub soon to factory navigation unit in my o7 type s. will i need to do this as well?

Thanks for this thread otherwise I would have that annoying humming sound from sub. Took out the ANC module under center speaker = no humming sound

Info Still helping in 2015 Thanks!

I disconnected both front and rear mics and still has the humming sound. I then unplugged the factory subwoofer and the humming bass went even crazy louder and my car was vibrating like crazy from all the bass on my alpine type r subs so I reconnected the factory subwoofer. I'll try to disconnect the anc module tomorrow and see how that goes.

Ceaze

I'm all set disconnected the anc module and no more humming finally.
