Hi,

I ordered a base spec High Up! because they had one available, and I couldn't wait 12+ weeks for shipping (I currently have no car!).

I was just wondering whether the Sound Pack can be retro-fitted by the dealer? Do they run the wires for the additional speakers anyway (i.e., can I just install some speakers myself)?

Thanks,

Gav

I don't think it can as I think the wiring loom only contains the wires for the options specified.

You can install any aftermarket speakers or radio, it won't void the warranty, I've explicitly asked. (Of course, if during installation you accidentally break anything, that wouldn't be covered and you'll have to pay for replacement.)

Has anyone actually asked VW if they will retrofit it themselves? Or do you reckon the cost will be far to high to be worth it.


I don't have the sound pack but really want to upgrade the speakers. I have done it in previous (much older!) cars so feel relatively confident about doing this, but don't want to f**k it up!

I'm sure you could do it yourself, others have.
Then you could actually spec a better quality speaker too, and maybe even lay some sound deadening.
