Entertainment pack

[Stu308]

Just a heads up, got my SE with entertainment pack ordered yesterday.

To cut a long story short, the dealer got my SE coming into port snagged it and got it delivered and said they would fit rear speakers etc on arrival.

Picked up car and he said they couldnt fit rear speakers as there is no fitting pack to do it. Where the speaker grills are at the rear it is just smooth on other side and has nowhere to fit speaker onto. He said mechanic had it all off and said it was impossible to do at the moment.

This leaves me £100 better off but without rear speakers :(

Anyone know an alternative yet, I also have my active subwoofer to put in boot.

Have seen this link on VW but looks to much of a ballache that way and dont fancy ripping brand new car to bits

Don't really want to replace HU as will lose the PID features, anyone know if I can connect my active sub to it?

If anyone knows the answer using ETKA or similar, can you check the parts also for the 5dr model. I'm hoping this has space in the rear doors for speakers. Include the tweeter parts also for the 'A' pillar

If you really want rear speakers I'd tell him to order one with the spec you want

I did Seboni, your missing the point. The build time was November and needed car before that which was originally agreed. Dealer got an incoming SE and told me they would fit entertainment pack at dealership, in other words , he messed up.

You can make your own fitting box in MDF.

i made this for my rear doors (no preinstallation found):

Maybe It's more dificult than oem panel, but MDF sounds better than plastic sockets.

Lol ,no worries!!

Too keep this from getting too complicated , I think at the moment my option is to hook up my sub to the existing HU, anyone know what connections it has?

Making stuff from mdf is over my head.

Has anyone got a picture of the rear of the headunit?

[Stu308]

Got schematic of the HU, seems it only has front and rear speaker inputs. Can I attach Sub to that or is there another way of doing it?

,Most decent after market units have a sub out but very rarely do standard units, you would need to connect the sub to the speaker out terminals on a line out connection, not as good as a dedicated sub out but at least the low freq signals go to where they should do.
