  1. Taos
    I didn't see many in-depth guides about aftermarket audio setups in the Taos so I figured I would take some pics while doing my own and write up something. Hope this is useful for others thinking about upgrading your sound! Items Needed: Subwoofer with enclosure Amp Line output converter (LOC)...
  2. Passat (B6)
    I had the front left door replaced (only the outside part) and the same day they stopped working but only after a couple of hours, they were working when I picked up the car. I put on a song and music had a bunch of trebble and no bass and then I realized that the other speakers don’t work. I...
  3. Tiguan (PQ35)
    Recently, I have been experiencing an intermittent reboot of my Nav/audio system. I'll be driving along, and hear a THUMP through all of the speakers, and I'll look at the Nav/audio touch screen and I see that it is rebooting. Nothing else seems to so much as stuttering. I suspect that some...
  4. Tiguan (PQ35)
    One day as I was driving my sound started becoming intermittent then after a day or two the sound stopped. (XM, AM, FM, Phone, Apple Car Play, etc.) Doesn't work. I can see it changing channels and function, see the red volume bar sliding up and down, just no audio. There was no audio from the...
  5. Golf V & Jetta V
    09 JETTA 2.5 SE One of my rear seat speakers got blown (lower door/ lower frequencies) I wanted to know the specifications so that I could replace it with one of similar characteristics. Also, if I was to buy a third party brand speaker would I need any additional attachments?

  7. Golf/GTI VII Parts
    Complete New in Box set. Bought these a couple of years ago for a planned upgrade to my MkVII GSW that never happened, and never will. These have never been installed. The only thing I've done with them is masterfully removed the tweeter grilles (see pic), since the tweeters don't need them...

  8. Golf/GTI VIII
    Looking for any information regarding audio signal source for an LOC for an aftermarket amp/sub instal package. In many of the previous models (MK 5, 6, 7) I would just tap in right behind the discovery media box in the glove compartment. On the MK8 S model there is NO DISCOVERY BOX in the glove...
  9. Cabriolet
    I’m having trouble removing the rear side panels, I have the two door model (not sure if there is a 4 door option) of the 02 Cabrio, specifically GLX . I know there’s the three plugs under the seat, the two screws behind the speaker grill and two hex screws towards the doors, but the panel seems...
  10. CC
    Hi there, I have a 2013 CC with the Dynaudio sound system. I have an issue with the radio volume as follows: Car off: I can turn on the radio, volume no problem. Car off - key in the ignition: Radio volume is normal, no problem. Car on: Radio volume goes very low. I can turn the volume...
  11. Atlas SUV
    Is there a means by coding or otherwise to disable the ultrasonic park sensor audio permanently but keep the screen pop present? With snow and ice these are constantly going off an annoying.
  12. Golf/GTI VII
    Hello all, I'm wanting to do a bit of an audio upgrade on my mk7 GTI. I currently have the fender system and it's honestly just lacking everywhere. I was wondering if anyone has the Focal IS VW 180 - 2-way component kit | Focal installed? How do you like it? I was also planning on putting in...

    I've been having a bit of fun reverse engineering the factory Monsoon amplifier. I'm just going to drop this here in case anyone's bored. If you have any requests or additional information you'd like to add, feel free to leave a reply. I'll update this post as I compile new information. After...
  14. Jetta VII
    I searched a lot before posting this and didn't really see it. I've added an aftermarket JL Audio 12W0-4 sub. I'm trying to get the crossover right with the Beats Audio system that came with the car. Has anyone seen a frequency response curve for the stock system? I can't seem to find anything...
  15. Tiguan (MQB)
    Never done an aftermarket audio upgrade this big and I'm unsure of what a standard price would be. Any help? 3.5K is what I was first offered - labor/install/deadening included. Does not include rear speakers (just front pairs, sub, and amp). Here's some audio work from the company's...
  16. Car Audio and Electronics
    I recently purchased a 2021 VW Tiguan SE R-Line. I love this car in every way except the audio sound quality. I have been looking into adding a sub to accommodate for the bass. I am a little overwhelmed as of which direction to go. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, or recommendations...
  17. Golf/GTI VII
    As the title suggests, I’m looking to add a powered subwoofer to liven up the bass response in the car. I already have one from my previous car. It’s a 500W 12” Rockford Fosgate. My main concern is: would I be pulling too much off the battery? Is it as simple as installing a powered sub on any...
  18. Arteon
    For those who have installed it, what is your opinion on the helix sub? Would you suggest it to others? Does it make a significant difference for the price? Thanks
  19. Arteon
    I just recently purchased a 2020 Arteon SEL Rline Non/Premium edition. I don't have the DynAudio system currently installed. But I am looking to do an aftermarket speaker setup, but I am having trouble locating the actual size of the speaker sizes to replace in my car. Does anyone have any idea...
  20. Volkswagen News Blog
    Over the weekend, German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) discovered another device that artificially reduced vehicle emissions during tests. This time, though, the device lowered CO2 emissions and is unrelated to the NOx device that caused the...
