Karoq is on my shortlist & interested in how much better the Canton system is over the standard? Would be good to hear both from those that oped for it & those that didn't because they thought the standard setup was good enough.

Mine has the Canton system. Came with the car ( I’m second owner-) happy with the system, can’t judge the normal sound system.

I had the Canton in my previous karoq - and if you have this you lose that nice storage area on the dash board - you know i dont really notice any difference - my current sportline doesnt have it - and i dont miss it. The storage is much more useful

Have the Canton in my Karoq and it is worth it to my ears. Had an Octavia and Yeti both without and a long as you get the settings right on it it makes it worth while. Run out of volume on Octavia and Yeti but no on the Karoq.

The car has lots of stiarage areas so missing out on a small cubbyhole on the dashboard is hardly a scarifice.

Plus you get a spare tyre in the boot which is a nice bonus.

Had to give up on this as I couldn't find a vehicle installed with it to test. There were also apparently issues on the configurator as to whether you could have the variable floor or not in combination with the Canton.

As for losing the dashboard storage, that's been removed from current models in any case.

So I've ended up with an SEL Edition with the Columbus system. At least it sounded usable on demo, whereas the Amundsen sounded horribly tinny. Although both obviously only samples of one. Time will tell if I can live with the Columbus without having to throw money at it.

If you have the Canton upgrade you cannot get the variable floor as the subwoofer sits in the spare tyre, and if you have the spare tyre you cannot have the variable boot floor.
