Is it cold where you are? Multiple people (including myself) have had it not work when it is cold out.

 

[STBLUR]

Yes is has been fairly cold. I've on had it for a week tomorrow. BTW I love it. I know there are people that don't like it, but I want the thing to at least work. Then can decide if I want to disconnect it or not. I like the sound on the videos.

 

[Samdog]

Mine stopped working as well - 300km in.
I kind of liked the sound, oh well

i found that the connector for the wiring is bad. it wouldnt lock when i push it on and would shake loose. this isnt the only connector iv noticed that is like this. my mass air flow will not lock in place either. i can just pull it off. try unplugging and plugging back in, and use a little more force to get back together. then start up car and give a rev see if it works. hopefully thats all it is. also evertime i have unplugged it and plugged in it has mad an audiable tone.

 

[shortie]

This is making me wonder if mine is working... I have no idea what I would consider audible tone?
I just came from a highly modified extraordinarily loud exhaust on a car to what I now consider to be quiet as a mouse.
Hmm...

 

[Lineofcontrol]

Haha I hear ya.

This is the most civilised, softest sprung, quietest car I have ever owned!

Half the time I can't even tell if the thing is running. Might as well be electric compared to what I am used to.

but I am very curious now if mine is working... it is super cold here, however, and from what I read that seems to affect it.

I didn't realized the cabin noise was artificial.

 

[DMart013]

Not artificial, just amplified

 

[Kirbytime]

After doing some research that's just silly. How does one go about disconnecting this system?

 

[Generic]

Why's it silly? The previous gen Focus ST had one too. I loved it. Admittedly the 2.5 had a nicer sound though.

I still like this one though. I'd prefer if it was on all the time.

 

[Kirbytime]

The sound should naturally enter the cabin, not be forced in. Maybe once mine gets here and I drive it for awhile it'll grow on me but on paper I don't like it.

 

[Generic]

I hear ya. Give it a chance though man. Everyone who's been in my car loves the sound

 

[Scrodes]

Plus it's the way everyone is going with the development of all of these downsized engines - even Porsche has a similar system in their current models (which can actually be turned on or off by button)


Out of curiosity, where does one find the sound symposer? can someone post pics - I'm curious if it's under the hood or in the cabin.

 

[turbodubb]

I have noticed that when I am stopped at idle it does not sound nearly as prominent as when I am in motion... anyone else?

Edit: An afterthought, I realized I didn't weigh in on the yay or nay and I would say that I enjoy the symposer.

 

[TClark22]

Shortie I am the same way! I hadn't driven my mustang in a month or two until the other day and dang that thing is louder than I remember! And I used to daily drive it that way for years... Lol the focus is so quiet.

Think my symposer stopped working, it's gotten all too quiet the past few days

 

[pmaltinsky]

my mass air flow will not lock in place either.

Are you talking about the map sensor? these cars do not have mass air flow sensors

 

[Poiznes]

Apparently this is a recall from ford and the parts are on backorder for the ones that are not working...

 

[CDN_ST]

Can anyone confirm this? Haven't hear of any recalls or TSBs on the ST
