Figure I'd do a DIY for unplugging the ANC since people are referring to a youtube link that only showed location of the ANC box.

Here it goes.

Required Tools:
Stubby phillips screwdriver

1: There are 3 screws that hold the glove box to the dash. (Lefty loosey, Righty tightey)

2: Pull the side panel. It is held be 3 clips

3: Slowly pull the dash down

4: When slowly pulling glove box down, you will see the it slip off the rubber cushion. You can put the rubber strip over when you're done.

5: The ANC box can now be seen, as mentioned in the youtube video.

6: Reach behind that grey box and you'll feel a latch to press and unclip the harness

Thats it!

Now time to reverse steps and put it all back together.

7: Snap the glove box back into the 4 clip areas.
8: Run the rubber seal over the glove box.
9: Snap the side glove box trim back on.
10: Screw the 3 screws back on and nomore ANC!

Have a beer. Should take nomore than 5-10 min. I took a lil longer since i had to take pics.

Thanks for the post! It worked, although I had to remove the A5 box, to remove the plug. It was easy as the 2 10mm bolts just needed to be loosen and the box slipped out. The irritating high pitched non-directional tone in now gone.

Method #2 (Less things to remove):

1: Panel under the glove box.

1 clip on each end of the panel and 1 clip in the middle.

Warning: Dont just yank and go ham from the middle or from 1 end. i mean you could but maybe damage things. The trim is plastic afterall.

Up to you how you want to pull down. i would pull 1 end then the other end, first. Then you can slide your fingers to the middle and pop the middle ( #3 ) clip

After the 3 clips are down, pull it diagonally down and towards the seat as there are 2 knobs on the back of panel.

2. Then reach for the plug/clip for A5 while on your back. (sorry for blurry pic but you'll see A5 printed on label clearly)

3. Point the 2 knobs of the panel to the slots and listen to the sound of completion with the 3 clips.

You're welcome

Nice! I had a faint tone but my music drowned it out, kind of. LOL

So you are doing this because the subwoofer was pounding/burping when accelerating no matter the volume?

Hello any way you can email the pictures ? Won’t show the pictures in this post.

The anc box is also used for mic cancellation on bt calls... FYI

So I've got the 2019 CRV and just installed a sub. I'm getting a loud hum on my sub while driving if the volume is low or off. While parked it does not have this issue.
I do believe it's due to the active noise cancellation. So I'm going to try and remove this connector and see if that helps.

I do wonder if this gives some errors in the dash if you disconnect though?
And I'm a little dissapointed that I won't have the ANC features anymore. Have you guys noticed that this module did a lot of good?

I'd like to know the same thing. I want a sub for my ex-l but worried about losing ANC features when on speaker phone.

I believe after removing the connector going to the ANC should fix your hum problem. Let us know how it turns out.

I have a 17 Ex and am not seeing a gray box with a5. Im seeing a black box with a6.

FWIW, on my 2021 Hybrid the ANC box is labeled G5, not A5. It's in the same location and looks identical to what is pictured. Perhaps a different sound cancellation profile for the different engine?

Anyhow, the end result is the same. No more humming/pulsing from the added underseat sub - and overall the music sound is better without the door speakers doing double duty. Cannot perceive any additional cabin noise with the ANC gone.
