Hi Gaz,

There are several system on the market, Kufatec and Maxhaust.
I have the later one, and I install them too here in France.

The sound is pretty good, you control it via an App (Android ans IOS), once set to your liking you don't touch the App any more, you just use the speed adjusting cruise control button on the left of the wheel.
You can cut the sound of altogether on the Mway, it's what I do. (for a quieter ride)

The system is however not plug and play (none are), you need to be a fairly good DIY man, either to dismantle the original connector to parse in the Canbus wiring, or to cut it and solder the new module Canbus in.

If it is prior to 2016 the module is in the boot after it is under the front left seat, for LHD cars, for RHD ones it should be the same but can't guaranty.

If you're interested in doing it yourself, I still have 2 in stock. (I can assist you or your installer remotely via Whatsapp, I've done it for an English member already)

This is the unit.

just a thought , does this mean cruise control doesn’t work anymore if it used those buttons to adjust the tone ?

Hi Digritz,
No not at all, you have to control the Sound system while the Cruise control is OFF, once you've adjusted the sound to your liking, just press the Cruise control button to ON the you have cruise control, but cannot adjust the sound in that position.

For example:
I want to have a very quiet car on the Mway, I drop the volume down, by using the speed control on the wheel, 4-5 clicks are enough, the you bring the car up to speed, Switch the Cruise control ON then lock the speed, and off you go for your Mway trip without sound, you leave the Mway and want the sound back, you have 2 options.
1 - you stick it in sport mode, then revert to normal cruising
2 - you take the cruise control off, then move the speed button up 4-5 times and the sound is back on.

A 3rd option, is to cut the sound with a 2-3 sec press on the speed limiter, then you recover it with the same inverse operation.

I hope I've been clear enough.

Nice ! Yes I have a lancia too … definitely not for purists … but great fun . Just engaging in an engine refit of a 2.016v turbo… montegrale !
beyond my capabilities but know a good mechanic !!

do you have any of the Maxhaust units for sale ? It’s 439 on the website with an adapter cable ?
not sure if that’s the right one .
then just just about locating the box !

 

[Fredvr]

Yes I've got one, with the cable, and a fuse pick up wire for the pre 2016 models, after it's easier with an in line fuse holder you'd get at Halfords.

It comes with the cable, but you had to split the original connector open to divert the canbus, alternately you can cut the wires and resolder, it'll save you the hassle of dismantling the plug to extract the canbus wires.

439€ it's without shipping cost, check them from Germany.
I suggest we split the shipping half and half if you want. Can't remember what I paid last time I need to check, but it's not much, I don't know how your Brexited end deals with this.

I can always mention return after repair. LOL...

I you want more info and pictures of the connector, send me you Whatsapp No via MP.
