I had to choose between Titanium, or Hybrid. Couldn't find a car with both in a reasonable time. I have to say I was not impressed by the Sony system in the Titanium enough to choose it over the Hybrid. Ansolutely wish I could have just gotten a Titanium Hybrid, though. Ahh well, I'm sure it'll get sorted. Even if it's time for installers to learn the car, details to be found, or whatever needs to happen.

Yeah, shame they didn't just code an off switch. Ahh well, as I get it sorted, I'll keep this post updated. Just in case anyone else has the same issues. And who knows, maybe it'll catch the attention of a car audio pro who's done this and feels like sharing some advice. :)

Lol, thanks for the advice. I'll take a look at it shortly as I have to head out for a bit. Hopefully no side effects to pulling it and putting it back in if something needed doesn't power up.

Hrm, I should take a look at that. I wonder, however, what "radio" means. Kinda vague. Just am/fm? Sirius? Whole head unit? I wouldn't want to pull the fuse and find it creates a whole new problem.

To be honest I dont know how many audio installers would have experience with a 2013 Fusion Hybrid. It's just not that common of a car. He is aware that the ANC is the issue, and I'm very hesitant to to allow any permanent changes (ie: cutting mics) for fear of long term surprises. As it is, I have confirmed it could be returned to a stock state if needed. But I'd really like to work this issue out. It's amazing they can have a software based feature that I can't just turn off. Even just to test and see if it solves the problem. I figured I'd post here in hopes I'm not the only fella getting his audio upgraded, and maybe having seen the issue before.

I was able to get it into the shop and they were able to fix the issue of it cutting out when driving. Now I just need to figure out how to disable the Active Noise Control to see if that`s why the sound just isn`t right. I`ve found the mics, but they don`t look easily disabled.

Yeah I would expect it to be a little wonky. I guess I need to research a way of disabling the Active Noise Control. Hopefully temporarily, to see if I can notice a difference.

Hey all. I just had my 2013 Fusion Hybrid SE into a local shop to have the sound system bumped up a notch. He installed a new amp and sub. Also doing whatever they do to the other speaks to ensure they backing off the bass some. Systerm sounds quite good, but there's 2 issues. 1. This is a game breaker, and will have to get into the shop again asap. The system works great while parked, or stopped and in drive. But once I pull away from a stop light or whatever, the audio completely cuts out. The car has to be powered down (rebooted) to bring audio back. And again, it works until I start to drive. I'm hoping maybe someone here has an idea what could cause this so I could go into the shop with an idea of what's wrong. 2. The sound quality is drastically better with the doors open, and the trunk open. I'm wondering if this could be a result of the Active Noise Control? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
