I can see you are Dutch, so let me be blunt as we Dutchies like to be.... wat wil je nou exact horen dan?
The DYI video has been (re) posted several times in this thread. Remove the notches.....flip the connector over.....and reinsert.

Instructions have been posted in text, in video. There is nothing else to say.

Ja dat is een optie. Maar een kabeltje er tussen zetten lijkt mij wat netter, dan eraan moeten gaan snijden :) Vandaar mijn vraag naar zo'n adaptertje.

The space at that spot is already super tight and also, the cable isn't that long to begin with. Best option is to just grind it. You will never need to remove that cable in it's lifetime after that.

Depending on where you live, i can do it for you, if you are afraid to do it yourself.

I also do coding and servicing if you are interested. PM me if you have interest in any of the aforementioned.

How much do I need to grind the two pins? Should I grind them until they completely disappear, or just sand the surface until they become thinner?

Sorry, I don’t speak English very well and I didn’t fully understand.

I've used a Stanley knife to carefully cut off the pins completely: the result needs to be a flat surface on the connector. Be careful not to cut in your own hands. Cut off small pieces each time, take your time.

Awesome, thank you bro! Now I got it straight!

Hi, I'm also an owner of a Superb 1.4 iV facelift model (2021) with the Canton Audio .... The sound is ok, but I'm missing the bass, the 'warm' sound.

I've checked the connector and there are 2 lugs unfortunately, so I'm not able to turn it around without modifications. I'm a little bit reserved in changing the connector, because I want to know if this will fix the sound for me.

@spacelord , Do you still make and ship these adapters to the Netherlands? I'm currently not able to send a PM, because I'm new to this forum.

Hi, ik had dezelfde vraag. Maar helaas geen antwoord op gehad. Ik heb de lipjes met een mesje eraf gesneden en de stekker omgedraaid. Wereld van verschil in nog geen minuutje werk!

Dankjewel voor je reactie. Ik wacht nog even af of ik een reactie krijg ... en anders misschien toch maar zelf aan de slag. Is het echt zo simpel om die 2 verdikkingen eraf te halen?

En het heeft bij jou het geluid positief veranderd, waardoor het voller klinkt en ook meer bass geeft?

Ja, je kunt het ook testen. Als je in de auto zit en je de achterklep open doet, dan merk je dat er meer bas ontstaat. Dat duid op de fase rotatie. Het verschil is enorm als je het stekkertje omdraait!

Top, dat ga ik morgen even testen. Bedankt voor jullie reacties!
