B7 Dynaudio Retrofit

[Timlin]

A mate wants one too... might have to go new I guess...

[Timlin]

The new ones on ECS are later versions of the one I need... not too sure if that one will work.

Which version do you need? I thought they were all interchangeable?

BTW - searching ebay.de for the part number helps (3c0035456) - just be careful not to buy the same amp you already have (with black sides).

The part number you are looking for is the above ending in either C or H. I installed the latter in my R36 and is a big improvenent on the standard amp. Only issue is I get some clipping from the speakers at really high volumes which doesn't bother me as I never go there. Bought it for about $350 on ebay but was searching for about 6 months as not willing to pay over $800

Thanks R36 DSG!

Was it a simple plug'n'play replacement?
- unplug & unscrew old amp
- screw & plug in Dynaudio amp
- ?re-code in VCDS?

Was plug and play and from memory worked without any coding although I did code it to bring up the dynaudio logo on start up

Awesome - thanks! Time to go shopping.

I've seen some 'A' versions available which are the "Lear" model. There are also brand new 'J', 'P' etc versions available from various distributors.
Do you know if these models work too, or is it just the 'C' and 'H' versions?

EDIT: the 'J' model is also a Lear brand and proved to be plug and play along with all 10 speakers on my 2008 R36.

.. I'm fairly sure that the 'D', 'G' and 'K' varieties are standard 250W amps (lots of these going cheap on ebay).

BTW - VW Parts2Go had some on special for <$800, but don't ship to Australia =(

Not sure about those versions but I believe the C & H are also Lear. One thing to look out for though is avoid the amps starting with 3C8 as these are for the Passat CC and will come up with errors and stop working after a while (I have had first hand experience with that!).

Just ordered a 3C0035456-J amp along with the 10 speaker system (from a 2010 R36). It should arrive within the next couple of days or so - will keep this thread posted.

I was looking into using an Eos system (usually ~$1000 on ebay.de) as it seems to be from the same "Confidence" package spec - though I couldn't figure out if the speakers and/or amp would be compatible: VWVortex.com - DYNAUDIO info site from Volkswagen AG for future/current owners .

Luckily, I was able to track down a Passat system =)

Just wanted to say that Dynaudio is so worth it. Very glad that I optioned it on the B7

agree 100%

but now discontinued!

and you can't get it on Golf's anymore either. We had it in our 118tsi. they dropped it from all bar the GTI and R toward the end of the VI's and now the new model it is gone as an option completely.

I wanted to order the Dynaudio on our 2008 TDI, but the salesman talked us out of it (along with some other options we wanted).. Turned out he had a MY07 car he swapped it out for prior to delivery.

In hindsight, it explains why he was funny about me checking the plate prior to settlement - it was rainy that day and the car was near the back of the yard.. I had to wait a long time and then it wasn't in a position where I could open the door properly. Only discovered it a few months later. In the end (after getting our solicitor involved), we ended up with the car we paid for - along with Bluetooth and a couple other extras.

...and sales-people wonder why I don't trust them.

Anyway, it looks like I'll finally be getting a Dynaudio system (in my R36) =)

The following arrived this morning



The amplifier ('J' model) is also a Lear. I will post details (part numbers, sizes etc) in a separate thread when I have some more time.

Looks great mate. Would be interested in hearing it. Let me know if you want some help. Depending on where you live, I could give you a hand with it. I love mucking around with that sort of stuff.

[Timlin]

Nice garage mate! Curious to know how you rate the XR8 to the R36?
