Car Sound Kit Control

Open or close the exhaust valves on a Car Sound Kit receiver from your Android phone.

An independent, unofficial app. It is not made, endorsed, or supported by Akrapovič. The Akrapovič name only identifies compatible hardware. It is for owners who already have the receiver in the car. Change the valves only when it is safe and legal where you drive.

On Google Play internal testing. The public listing comes when testing finishes.

Open source. The app stays on the phone: no internet, no account, no uploaded logs.

Choose open or closed. The valves go there once when you get in. If you change them by hand, that stays until you leave the car.

A quiet window from 22:00 to 07:00 on weekdays that holds the valves closed after connecting.

Quiet start

Leave home without waking the street. The valves stay closed for the minutes you choose, then open, with a countdown on the phone.

Questions people ask

Is this the official Akrapovič app?

No. Car Sound Kit Control is an independent, unofficial, open source app. It is not made, endorsed, or supported by Akrapovič. The name is used only to say which receiver it works with.

Does it need an account or the internet?

No. The app talks to the receiver over Bluetooth and stays on the phone. It does not create an account, use the internet, or upload logs. A diagnostics file leaves the phone only when you choose to share it.

Can I change the valves while driving?

Change the valves only when it's safe and legal where you drive. While driving, use the two large Open and Close buttons on Android Auto rather than the phone. Changing exhaust valves can affect noise, emissions and warranty, and local rules are your responsibility.

Where do I get it?

It is on Google Play internal testing now. The public listing comes when testing finishes. The source is on GitHub.
