It's not a complicated process, but it most surely cannot be done accidently, or for free. If it could, I would have done it with my last car
Then how did OP get all the new popping and crackling sounds? It does sound a lot like PPK. Did the new sounds come from the software update, or is it possible that it came from his software update in combination with his aftermarket add-ons? He DID say the sounds came after his software update, and since he didn't mention it, I'd assume his aftermarket add-ons were already in place when he got the update. What else could it be?
