Hi there, negative. Now I pay more attention between current speed vs speed set on ACC in order not to trigger the same error again.

Well, far from being an expert on the subject, I would wait for the DSP installation and setup before removing them. I think I have finished with the EQ input and output setting and I am quite impress of the change, specially on the rear. Without DSP the rear, as @trinajstich said, is inexistent, but now yes they are. Next step is subwoofer. In my case, I am going for a Rockford Fosgate Punch P300-8P. Maybe it's not the most powerful one, but it fits perfectly inside the box under the boot floor, so well hidden and boot clear.

Keep us posted and thanks a lot. Then, If I have understood correctly, you can edit datasets with OBDEleven via EEPROM, right? That would be my only way of doing it. Cheers

Hi @trinajstich , I guess nope, but any updates on the subject? Quite interesting post. I am in the same situation but with a DSP amp installed and yes, flat EQ is mandatory.

Thanks a lot for the feedback @Giannis20 . I did a full scan and I can confirm that it doesn't trigger any error in control units.

Ok, mines are on as well. Important! From the inside you miss the blinker on the outer corner of the mirror. @Giannis20 can you confirm as well? I would say it's the way it works.

Nice !

Well, kind of common sense, If you want to push the mirror from behind with a pry tool you will need room to introduce the tool and apply pressure to release the mirror. To get that room, lower the mirror to max position and turn it to inner max position. As you can see in the workshop manual, that step is not listed.

I will do a clip when installed, they are still in transit but I think they will come beginning next week the latest. Note: From my experience, and to facilitate the removal of the mirror, way better to tilt it in order to have more room to pry.

Interesting, I think I will give it a try as well. Changing them is not complex, you have to be just a bit careful when popping out the mirror.

So first part is completed, IS VW 165 front and rear + doors and doors cards isolated with Focal BAM. For sure it's better than stock, specially with sound at 50% of the gauge but maybe it lacks of ... power? when going up. At this point I am not sure what to do ... either for the full amp + active subwoofer or just an active subwoofer but ... with just the subwoofer, from where to take signal? there is no low out from the infotainment so high out split is mandatory ... but then less power on speakers.

Hi guys, Just checking with the community because I am not able to find a proper "why" for this: I was starting a 500 km trip and done 35km so far when the event happened. ACC on and set to 130 km, all fine ... works ahead on the motorway, one single lane and in front a truck rolling at 50 km, so ACC active at 50 km/h but set to 130 km, no problem, just rolling fine. When work section is over and the second lane is available, without touching the gas, always ACC active, blinker to the left, starting to pass and ... BAM ! Drive train error, please visit workshop ... WTF ! DSG auto set to sort kind of security state, not revving above 1500 rpm. Pulled over, visual check ... nothing. Smell check ... nothing. Ok, let's start again ... error gone, dsg fluid temp as expected. 5 minutes after I received a call from Skoda Service: We have here an error coming from drive train, all is fine? Yes yes, looking good, I do not know what happened but yes, rolling just fine. I drove for almost 150 in CC instead ACC, checking DSG fluid temp all the time, and all fine. I completed the 1200 km trip without any issues and no errors, using ACC and CC. First thing I did when I was back home: plug OBDeleven and checked CU2 transmission to see any possible error ... but nothing, no faults stored. And here I am ... do you know which could be the trigger? for sure was an electronic one, because at any time drive train was working above 1500 rpm, not pushing revs like crazy. My theory is that at some point, when trying to speed up, ACC forced the drive train to apply more torque than preset by gear and block the system ... but just a guess. Cheers and thanks !

Uf, for the time being, no sub installed, so no power, sorry.

Ok, now I understand, good point. I will take it into consideration. For the time being it's just a project ... and the car itself is on the market to be sold so ... maybe it will never happens.

Well, without being an expert on the subject, as per Amp tech specs, both 2/4 ohms impedance are supported: Well, living in the south of France very low temperatures would not be a real problem. 🙂

Yes, I do plan to change them from stock to Focal IC VW 165 both front and rear and isolate doors with Focal BAM. On a second stage subwoofer in the spare wheel.

Thanks a lot for the feedback @bdavbdav, Yes yes, I do have the wiring diagram from EtKa for the infotainment unit, but I think it would be really useful to have a schema because the quadlock is split in different connectors. But not the real issue, you can track and match wires by colors. Nope, speaker wires are straightforward, doubt is coming from the power side. For example, if I finally go for the Axton A592DSP, you have PIN 1 for ACC-in. I would tend to connect that one to the signal cable going to the screen, but it’s not fully clear from the wiring diagram: I assume S is for signal, green and blue wire, from the infotainment unit to the screen it that case, but there is no S explanation in the signal names chapter but SIG: Call me picky 😜, but I do prefer doing the harness myself, because with an ISO harness + amp harness and considering that the amp is going to be close to the infotainment unit I do not want to finish with 60 cm of cables occupying space in an already tight area. I have a 20cm quadlock extension that I would cut/sold/isolate/tag as per needs. Cheers

Hi guys, Starting to think about upgrading as well ... just a question: do you know if there is a quadlock pinout printed on the infotainment unit? Checked various amplifier and all of them have different wiring diagrams to connect to the main infotainment unit. Cheers.

In addition ! After changing mine, passenger side, in November 2024 I passed my first TUV check and I had a minor non-conformity. Seems that the fog light, as it comes from factory, horizontal calibration is not properly set, or set as expected by French TUV. Maybe in other countries they are not as picky as they are here ... BTW, if somebody has access to erWin, it would be nice to know if there is an instruction (Easy way hopefully) to calibrate it. Thanks in advance! Cheers!

Awesome, thanks a lot for the info @djmartzian, I will take a look tomorrow, but for early versions I would say it's not going to work 😞

That's quite an interesting thing 🙂. Seems that this function is already released as an OBDeleven one click app but essential requirement is needed: ODX version 007001 in control unit A9. @djmartzian are you in a position to confirm? I am running ODX version 006001 so I am not sure if this will work or not.

Capacitive steering wheel is a requirement, that's a fact.

Well, it will depend on your tools and skills with your hands, it's not complicated but tricky. On each side you have to push and twist out the airbag retainer. To do so you need a mirror or your selfie camera on your phone to see where the retainer is and where to push to release. I would recommend you the removal of the upper steering column cover first, so that you gain room to play and, most important, you have zero risk of scratching the plastic cover.

Reposting again, just passed my first TUV check and I was expecting it ... front right fog light should be horizontally recalibrated. Do you know if there is a maintenance manual entry in the workshop manual for fog light recalibration?

And service done with 32.837 km (4 years). With proper tools, it's not a complex operation ... besides the filter replacement ! Now I understand why it's not a requirement from the maintenance manual. You cannot remove it without making a mess, no matter the effort you put to cover the area, oil will spill everywhere ! so reserve a bit of time to clean thoroughly.
