Hi,
Apologies if this should be in the I.C.E. section but it is 8P specific...
I have a 2007 8P 2.0TDI and my build sticker returns the following code:
8RU = Sound system with subwoofer "branded"
I have the double DIN Concert head unit (I think it's the ConcertII+) and reading around the consensus seems to be that all A3's of this age came with a subwoofer/amp setup.
However, I've just checked the boot and there is no obvious subwoofer in the side pods of the boot lining from what I can see, no grille/exit or anything. Is it a stealth system or does my car in fact not have a sub/amp at all? Very confused. I've had a google for images and can't find a clear photo of what it should look like in situ.
I'm trying to work it out as I'm weighing up either:
a) Doing the AUX mod on the stock head unit just to get my phone connected
b) Spending some money on an aftermarket unit so I can use bluetooth, handsfree and easy dash charging
However I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into as I've read that the stock subwoofer/rears setup can cause some hassles with third part units and I don't want to fork out the cash if it's going to be a hassle getting it all working.
Happy to post up some photos if it helps.
Cheers,
Andy
