I don't have access to the car, Its a mate in Newcastle so haven't done anything as yet.
Without pluging in and having a look, Im unsure I what can be done. Doesn't seem to be much info on the later model cars.

thread has been going for 18 months with no real resolution.

Have you asked here: Australia & New Zealand - Club Touareg Forums

Apologies to forum Gods for referencing another forum, but after 18 months, the OP surely has a right to some assistance.

Best mod (if you have standard audio and not dyn audio) is to remove the factory filtering that makes good audio sound terrible. Once done why anyone would pay the money for Dynaudio I do not know (so I answer the question as to why the filters are in place). Seriously good mod to do. Downside - too much bass and volume is higher - so turn down the bass and go easy on the volume control ok. But bass on my 2013 is seriously good when this mod is done. Later models may have cheaper speakers fitted based on reading (smaller magnets).

Enable Dynaudio EQ profile


It activates the dynaudio profile for non dynaudio sound systems. From what I can tell it changes the eq settings and increases the lower frequencies without muffling the sound like it does when you increase the bass on the non dynaudio profile. You can actually feel some bass now.


1. Select the " 56 - Radio" unit.
2. Enter the section " 07 - Encoding " and press " Long encoding "
3. Byte 4 - replace the value 01 with the value 00
4. Save and exit


Next is to have the auto start stop switch remember the last setting. i.e. if you turn it off then next time you start the Treg is remains off.

Disable start stop


Reference Start & Stop


VCDS Procedure


1. Select [ 09 - Cent. Elect. ]
2. Select [ Security Access - 16 ] and enter the code ( 20113 )
3. Select [ Adaptation - 10]
4. Select "Channel 34"
5. Enter the following new desired value :
- Subtract "4" to the value of the channel : S / S systematically disabled each time the vehicle is starting(reverse to the original setting )
- Add "32" to the value of the channel : Storing status Start / Stop (ON or OFF). The status of the S / S front engine cut is restored after restartAnd alone or in combination of the above settings:


On my TReg , the default channel 34 = 4
I put the value 0 ( 4-4 ) : it works, the Start & Stop is disabled whenever you start with the lit orange indicator .


Enjoy

That's Gold Toiler.
Used the add "32" to the existing value and now mine is remembering my previous setting into the next driving session. Just perfect. The reality being I will probably just leave it switched off most of the time, because I not can. Hooray.
Have has a MY15 Toureg 150 since new and my biggest frustration with it has been the inability to disable the Start Stop. Early on, any VCDS tweaks to disable it could not be published in the VagCom forums, because it was thwarting a clean green environmental system. Oh the irony. So once Diesel gate occurred I guessed it would be only a matter of time before it was made known.

I also did your Dynaudio tweak, but cannot say I notice any difference to the audio.
