[samuelk]

So does anyone have more info or a photo of the new sport digital instrument display for MY17 Golf GTI and R models?

more information can be found here on the virtual cockpit.

Bad news Steve, the stock speakers are crapola. Well, chances are average joe wouldn't be too phased. To be honest though, it sounded worse than the stock speakers on a mk6. Not sure if that's because I was blutoothing into the system as opposed to cable.

And.. in my moment of weakness, I lumped a deposit down on a Wolfsburg. Feeling like I should have waited at least until the official launch in 15 days just to make sure Dynaudio doesn't suddenly bounce back as a normal option, but like I said, moment of weakness. Dealer isn't sure yet he can get what I am looking for, but if he can't I get the deposit back so no love lost.

I actually thought they were ok, but I didn't blast them.
My stock speakers in my mk7 GTI are fine so I would assume they are the same...

Wolfsburg just a tad too much more for me, I prefer the wheels of the stock R over the Wolfsburg, and then not fussed on the seats and carbon fibre mirror caps, only thing I'd get it for would be the dynaudio, but 4k more just for that... If I could score a Wolfsburg with Sunroof for under 65k then I would but my negotiation skills are poor and I don't want to wait till Jan for it.

No, Bons, don't be like that ! You're on a VW forum here - we're all devout enough to sign up for constant and regular ear-bashings by some real live-and-breathers, day in and day out. I'm just luvvin' the devotion to both sound quality and the much maligned, yet high specced, quality German auto brand. Forget the mortgage, power bills, and your exhausted supply of Sorbent - you plump up for that over-priced, limited edition, dealer-loving money spinner no matter what the cost. You've really got me asking myself ... should I really get the kids all those Christmas presents (and food/clothing) come December, or should I blow it all on a Wolfie. Despite the ugly, black rims (right Kenny?) and weird mirror caps, I'm actually considering it now. But with a small gap in proceedings, just to make the distributor feel the rage.

What's with those rims ?

[WallySimmonds]

Standard Rline rims?

[Sujdee]

Yep this one has the R line pack

[kennyc]

So say in car that had dynaudio today. Wow they really are great speakers!
I then sat in the R to compare the speakers. Obviously they ain't as good, but they seriously ain't that bad and I can live with it!

AV-DC in Panorama SA is a dynaudio installer in SA I would highly recommend if anyone is interested in getting an upgrade. Ill be taking my wolfy there for a dashcam when it eventually arrives.

I want this car now! The active info display makes this car!

In this vid there is a white R with black rims and side mirrors. Looks amazing! Makes me think I should have gone white!

So, is there at least a sub in there somewhere ?

[Kachingg]

I have had my dynaudio equipped 7.5 for a few days now
The stereo is really good fully adjustable with lots of options
Have not been game to turn it up past 50% yet... vry loud

Cause i have a wagon bass is a little boomy but will do the sub fix(stuffing sub holder with acoustic foam) this weekend and see if that helps
I can't understand why vw won't option this in the r i think everyone would spec it

I agree the active info dash is just fantastic so many ways to configure it!
All the info at your fingertips also vry clear and easy to read
To those who go i am old school and prefer analog do you still have a brick phone most likely you are looking at this post on a smart phone what is the diff?

Personally i love it

For the dynaudio, yes, it's in the boot in the spare wheel compartment.

Also Kachingg, I agree about why VW won't spec it. But I know why they won't.... $$$$. They know if people really want it then they will upspec to Wolfsburg and they will make more $$$.

Sorry ... I meant is there a sub in the poverty-pack speaker setup ?

And, yes - Wolfie's long story short is VW tried the 1980's trick of making a "limited edition" out some painted wheels and weird mirror caps, and realising it wasn't really special enough they've ripped some prime gear out of the model below to try and force a few hands into the limited edition money spinner. I hope Motor magazine hears about it. They'll take the piss out of VW for sure.

I agree def a ploy by vw to upsell the wolfie

No sub in the non dynaudio cars or amp also speakers are different 2
