Harmon Kardon 19 speaker system sound quality

[Natebenninger]

What harness did you guys use to bypass the ANC of a 19 Harman kardon system? I’ve been all over and haven’t had a solid answer for the 19 HK system . I know how to unpin it but would prefer a easy harness.

This is the closest answer I can find for what is needed but I wasn’t 100 percent.

The Active Noise Cancellation, or ANC, in your vehicle is designed to pick up on low frequency road noise and cancels out any undesirable sounds, making your drive a quieter and smoother ride. The ANC in your vehicle can become a major headache when adding aftermarket equipment, such as...

the 9 speaker Alpine system in my Laramie is retarded loud.. one of if not the best systems i have experienced till this day.

I was disappointed with the HK in my 21 Limited. Really got bad after I put my Borla Atak exhaust on. Some days I couldn't hear my exhaust and see days I would hear a loud pop that sounded like plastic breaking. I ordered an active noise control bypass and I can hear my exhaust better and the HK sounds a lot better.

I have 21 limited as well what does the noise cancel do??and y bypass it???please explain ..I’ve had truck for 5 days ..I’m brand new to it

The noise cancelling works well for me in my 2022 Laramie with HK especially when towing and using 7+ as max gear. The interior is very quiet with no sound playing. I play most favorite music through usb jump drive Wav formatted. Sounds Great to me. That’s why I purchased the stereo upgrade, but had to take the Nav to get it.

Wait a tick... the HK system in Laramies have active noise cancelling?!? Wow.

I'm going to look at a 21' Laramie tomorrow (with intention on buying it as of now)... over a 2020 Laramie, without the HK system and with half as many miles.

I'll post my main question in a new thread... but will also, in case anyone sees it. So, in your own opinions, is the HK system "worth it" to have, or is the Alpine 9 speaker system decent enough. I've test driven a Laramie with that and I thought it sounded pretty good. I'm excited to hear the HK system.

Please share any/all thoughts if and when you can. Thanks!

I answered in your other thread. It's amazing.

Net audio has the harness your looking for.

I'm really happy with the 19 speaker HK system so far, but I have noticed that it really depends on the quality of the input signal. Anything off of the sirius xm signal is terrible. High quality downloaded music from my iphone is much much better.

While the HK may not be pure audio nirvana, it is leaps and bounds better than alot out there. I am quite pleased overall with it.
If you do not like it, listen to an 8 speaker Alpine equipped equivalent.
That being said, if Ram added a simple DSP/EQ to their connect setup, it would make the world of difference.
