Audio Upgrade Options - Help!!!

[kook]

Sorry to drag up this old post but just wanted to confirm that the Dynaudio system WONT work with an MY18 206Tsi R-Line wagon? I have the Discover Pro 9.2 inch system in the car. I was going to make a cheeky offer on this system on Ebay but if it doesn't work I can move onto other options.

Yes it will work - but...the amp has component protection which needs odis online to remove.
Then it has a parameter set for each vehicle which controls audio setup which needs vcp to correct.
Then you need the optical cable and if you already have aid it needs to be a splitter type.
Then coding and adaptation of 5f to get it to work.

So certainly doable but it needs the right tools and skills.

Thanks kamold, well I saw in another post someone else here in Perth is still struggling with that unlock procedure. The Ebay seller just messaged me and said I need the wiring harness also. This now goes into the too hard basket. I have an Audison Voce amp and Focal PS 165FX, will use those instead.

Reviving a very old thread here...

I have a MY 2017 B8 Alltrack Wagon - really quite dig the car but the factory audio a significant letdown from the Dynaudio in my former and much loved 2011 GTD. I'm after lots of headroom and clarity not insane volume

From what I can read, head unit is ok (and I'd prefer not to replace in any case) but additional amps, new speakers all round a a sub or two seems the go.

Be interested in any experience folks have in what they've used that has worked well and, in particular, recommendations for a reputable installer in Victoria (Melbourne/Geelong/Warranmbool. Happy to travel to a good outfit given my days of climbing under dashboards are long gone

As usual, it all depends on your budget... You can integrate directly with the optical output (MOST150) and get a nice flat, clean signal to build channels from... But last time I checked, it was an eye watering $1,500 just for the decoder.

Otherwise, you can tap speaker level outputs with something like an AudioControl LC7i , but the signal EQ may not be constant, making it difficult to tune (eg. output EQ curve can change based on volume)...

Thanks for that @nermal, there digital option would be tempting just from a "do it once, do it right" perspective and that I expect to keep the car for another 4-5 years at least.

Edited: Confirmed it's a "Discover Pro (Generation 2)" - four buttons either side, knob at the bottom on each side of unit. Part number according to the diagnostics screen is 3G0035045D

So I'm not sure if that would have digital out as an option.

Now going to look at installer options in Melbourne/Geelong area.
