Im looking to do the same in my 04 T1 V8... Any ideas?? (I dont want to rattle the car with stupid bass so keep that in mind.

 

Hi,
I think you should reference the thread: To Those Looking For A Plug & Play Audio Upgrade (Base Audio Only).

 

To activates the dynaudio profile for non dynaudio sound systems, try this.

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

I did the recode on my 2016 and very impressed with the change in sound quality!

 

do this before anything ....HUGE improvement

 

Do the Vagcom mod. If still not happy look at this thread:
http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f45/to-those-looking-for-a-plug-and-play-audio-upgrade-base-audio-only-223154.html

I did the PP62 and could not be happier. It sounds better then the Dynaudio in the Exec.

 

For those that did the VAGCOM and have the PP52/62, what how was the improvement from the VAGCOM fix to the PP52/62?

 

The vagcom change really opens up the possibilities with the dsp (I have a 52). The bass was not adequate and mid was held back as well prior to the change. I had been thinking I’d wasted my money on the dsp / cable/ install until opting for the final step and investing in the vagcom. This was expensive but the sound is better than the Dynaudio in my ‘12 Touareg (which I never thought much of). I haven’t tried the vagcom alone since the dsp was already installed but will suggest that alteration first to a friend who also has a new ‘16. We’ll see if he chooses to go the dsp route.

Ok, so I just applied the update through ross-tech's VCDS and wow it really does open up the sound. The stock sound can best be described as very muffled, and now the sound is much more clean. I have noticed that the bass varies considerably depending on what source you are listening from. The base through bluetooth audio and AUX is much more controllable, whereas the base on Sirius is way too much even on the lowest base setting. As expected, the sound is best on AUX (cleanest sound and tightest base). The base in general with this update is rather boomy, and I by far prefer tight base that melds well with the rest of the sound. Really looking forward to anyone that can do a comparison between VCDS and VCDS/DSP, as I personally would spend the extra for the DSP if provides superior cleaner sound and tighter bass.

 

Just remember each source has its own bass and treble levels for the audio.

As for the difference with the DSP. Just think of it this way. The stock with the mod is about how it should sound for a factory setup. With the DSP and a little tweaking of the DSP software, the system sounds as good as any high-end factory setup (Bose, Harmon, etc.) You can only get so much from the stock speakers and no sub but I have stopped looking for a sub and am very happy with the sound. By the way, I put the DSP in prior to the mod and just had to try the setup without it to see once I did the mod in Vagcom.

 

Found this in my non-dynaudio unit.

Use this method to change.

 

Thanks Rich. Looks like i need the cable and the software itself. Makes me a bit nervous to do this myself. Next thing I know I'd have flashing lights and the thing would be inoperable.

Maybe I can find a shop that can change the settings. Did changing the settings alone make a big difference in sound for you?

 

Yes these settings alone for me made a huge difference. There are some folks who also added a DSP....http://www.clubtouareg.com/forums/f.../to-those-looking-for-a-plug-and-play-audio-upgrade-base-audio-only-223154.html

 

Wow! Great info! I have the same complaint about my sound system. I'm going to try this.

 

If you are in South Florida I could do it for you for a beer . Otherwise, see if you can find someone local that will do it. Sometimes smaller independent shops can do things like this for a minimal charge.

 

Hello aray213! Im in Miami and I'll get you a case of beer if you would do me the favor..

 

I wish I was in South Florida...not just to have you do the mod. We finally got rid of the snow here in Chicago yesterday.

 

I too have a 2016 TDI Lux Toureag and am very unhappy with the sound quality.


How do you get to the screen to activate the dynaudio profile for non dynaudio sound systems?

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 get to the screen in order to

Thank you

 

You need a Ross-Tech VAG-COM cable. It's used to scan, diagnose and adjust car computer data. If you want to waste money, purchase one off of ebay, and then when you realize it doesn't work purchase one from ross-tech. I suggest you save money and purchase one from ross-tech in the beginning.

Just had this exact tweak done to my 2015 T3 Hybrid and it’s a world of a difference. It’s as if the car secretly has subwoofers and premium speakers in hiding. Can’t believe they would charge almost $70k for this new and not at least have the proper sound profile enabled.

Had someone near Baltimore do this for me as they have the proper Vag/Com stuff.

Anyone in NJ that can make this change, willing to pay for it... Would prefer to have someone experienced do it rather than me... Thanks Jeff

 

In NJ D.T.Auto in Middlesex

 

Is there a way to improve Dynaudio models? It's decent, but not what i'd expect from a $70K vehicle.

 

Would like to know also

 

Hi all,
OK so I broke down and bought a Ross-Tech Vag Com cable/software. Now I want to activate the dynaudio feature.
My question is, when it's said to change "byte 4 to 0" ... exactly how is this done?
Does anyone have pics/video or links to such showing how or can someone give just a bit more details on doing it? It would be much appreciated.

 

Disregard the post above this. I figured it out.

 

Like the difference in sound? I loved it!

Ok so I tried adding Radio unit 56 to the gateway (only one available) but i failed and threw a fault code on the CAN gateway "not found". Does everybody else have unit 56 when scanning with OBDeleven or vag-com?

 

Took me a while to get this working properly obdeleven on my 2015. My procedure was to turn off the ignition and reload the module list from the app. No change in the gateway setting was needed.

 

Anyone in North Texas with a cable? Willing to pay or provide beer, whatever anyone so pleases.

 

Found one and had it done. Difference is nuts. Now to possibly add the DSP...

 

Anybody in central Massachusetts willing to do this for me for a case of beer/bottle of liquor?

 

If you don't find anyone closer, I'm in Northern NJ. Maybe we could meet halfway, or I could be convinced to take the wife on a roadtrip- Central MA is beautiful any time of year.

 

Is this already done in the 2012 TDI Executive?
I haven't had a chance to look at the VAGCOM there yet.
I have been busy with the Reverse Camera retrofit since they left it off on some 2012s due the the flooding in Japan

 

Yes, if it has Dynaudio. Easiest way to tell is the door speakers will have the Dynaudio logo.

 

I bought a module and the camera in the handle from a forum member who had advertised them in the classified section. I bought a Kufatec harness to connect everything together.
The instructions leave a little to be desired, but doable.
