In a nutshell - if you hit the center console button, the valves will open and close. And much much more. All of the features are described in the 1st post, feel free to PM or email me if you have any follow up questions on features or installation.

The asd button is always on upon startup, so is the awron setup to open the flaps when the asd button is on? Meaning you always have to turn it off if you want to start with the valves closed?

Posting a response I provided in PM that helps explain behavior of the AWRON unit.
Once AWRON is installed, think of the sound control button in the center console as a toggle between "force open" and "force close". In the "force open" position the GUI allows you to set an RPM range to keep closed. The only use case I see for this is to keep valves closed on cold starts where you would set the RPM range to keep closed between 0 and 1500. Of course you don't have to specify a closed rpm range and it will always be 100% open when the button is on. With the button off ("force closed") you can override via the GUI to open above a certain RPM range or throttle position. I prefer to keep my button off as the default but then specify the valves open above 5k rpm or throttle above 70%. This keeps things quiet under normal driving but fully open if I go WOT. Of course I can hit the button on at anytime ("force open") and valves will stay 100% open (or in my example above closed at idle rpm). In my opinion, this is appropriate for louder exhaust setups like fully catless.

Most. ASD deactivation not yet a feature in ID8 but will be released in a future firmware update when completed.

No deadlines, but it is being worked on. Awron is on summer break until September.
Good news is that firmware updates are easily flashable to the unit.

Awron is still a much better value.

Reserved for cat delete (track use only). We haven't bought it up initially since the function is not yet applicable on US vehicles.

Also, per the description, it says, "The selected exhaust flap position is recalled after restarting the vehicle (memory function). How do you enable this?

This is by default. The selected flap position is retained by the module's memory function.

Ok, just confirmed. If I have the vehicle on (engine running) with the exhaust valve closed (green light off), then turn off the engine, the next time I start the vehicle, the exhaust valve is open (green light on). Last edited by HI M3; 08-17-2023 at 12:28 AM.. |

I just want to confirm what I think this can do.
Two modes.. both modes are programmable anyway I want? I have have one set to 25% open and the other 100%? Can the emergency mode be programmed? It would be sweet if the double press opened them 100% and have the asd button control two civilized modes. |

You're able to set different OPEN and CLOSED valve profiles, and predefined pedal positions in the GUI. The Panic feature would not be a good idea to use as a mode, as this completely shuts down the control, with the TRIGGER message and audible warning gong to indicate you are in this mode. This is especially an issue in Germany in which some speed cameras are equipped with microphones now and issuing noise tickets. The idea of the valve controller is to get away from the valves opening at anything other than 100%, which is what the M3/M4 haphazardly does, without ever fully opening. the Awron module solves this while giving full control of the valves independent of Sport mode at either 100% open or fully closed with the added predefined profiles.
