Here you will find the frequently asked questions about the Maxhaust Bridge

What is the Maxhaust Bridge?

The Maxhaust Bridge is the central control and interface unit for all Maxhaust tuning modules.

It connects your vehicle to the Maxhaust Bridge App and allows convenient control of components such as Active Sound, exhaust valve control, ambient lighting, throttle tuning, or air suspension — all via smartphone app and factory vehicle buttons.


Why do I need the Bridge?

The Bridge is the “heart” of your Maxhaust system. Without it, many Maxhaust products cannot communicate with each other or be controlled via the app.

It acts as the link between the vehicle CAN bus, installed tuning modules, and your Maxhaust App.


What advantages does the Bridge offer?

✔ Central control of all Maxhaust modules
✔ Easy operation via app or factory vehicle buttons
✔ Scene function for individual tuning profiles
✔ Remote maintenance and diagnostic functions
✔ Update-capable and expandable for future modules


What can I control with the Maxhaust Bridge?

With the Bridge, you can control:

- Active Sound systems
- Exhaust valve control
- Ambient/interior lighting
- Throttle tuning
- Air suspension modules
- Custom Sounds

All components can be controlled individually or combined through app profiles and scenes.


How is it controlled?

You can control the Bridge via:

- Smartphone app (iOS & Android)
- Factory vehicle buttons

Depending on your preference and vehicle model.


What is scene control?

Scenes are combinations of settings that control multiple modules at the same time.

Example: A “Sport” scene could activate louder Active Sound, sharper throttle response, and a stiffer suspension setup — all with a single click.

With one tap or when switching driving modes, the entire system automatically adjusts.


What settings can be stored in a scene?

Depending on the system, you can store settings such as color, brightness, animations, or specific vehicle modes within a scene.


How is a scene activated?

Scenes can be activated conveniently via the app, through vehicle buttons, or automatically when switching driving profiles.


Can I configure scenes individually?

Yes. Every scene can be customized and saved according to your personal preferences.


What is the advantage of scene control?

With a single click, a complete, coordinated setup is activated. This provides greater comfort, faster adaptation to different driving situations, and a perfectly harmonized overall experience.


Does the Bridge support remote maintenance and updates?

Yes — you can install firmware updates via the app and, if necessary, receive remote maintenance support.

The Bridge can read vehicle data in real time and help identify issues more quickly or transmit support data when needed.


How is the Bridge installed?

The Bridge is installed in the vehicle and connected to the CAN bus and power supply (e.g., fuse box).

For proper installation, professional fitting by a qualified workshop or experienced installation partner is recommended.


Do I only need one Bridge per vehicle?

Yes. No matter how many Maxhaust modules you install, only one Bridge module is required per vehicle.
