Hi I'm in need of assistance with ANC microphone wiring on a 2016 S7 with B&O sound system. I just installed a new amp and sub in the car with a wavtech bassrestor loc and the sub just isn't producing the punch that I would expect. I have switched polarity on the sub and that helped some but still quite lackluster. I'm looking to disconnect the ANC microphones but I'm having some trouble finding which wires of the amp. I did subscribe to Audi erWin and the wire colors shown don't correspond to what I'm seeing. Both harnesses coming off the amp are exactly the same so I may be looking at the wrong one but I assumed that the one with speaker outputs wouldn't be the one with microphone inputs. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: After fooling with it more I took apart the harness with speaker outputs and the wires for the ANC mics were there. Take out pins 24/green, 25/yellow, 26/white, 27/blue and pins 32,33,34,35 which are all black. The sound difference is absolutely astounding and well worth the ten minutes to de-pin them if you have an aftermarket sub.

Or just disable them with VCDS. Seems easier.

Unfortunately I don't have access to VCDS but this was a pretty solid workaround and can easily be returned to stock if needed.

Obd11 can also probably do it
