Hi,

Do anyone know where the subwoofer is mounted in the sedan version of the A3?
I have the Audi Sound System.
My Audi-dealer couldn't tell me where it's located.
I know it was mounted in the rear in the sparewheel on sportsback but it's not in my sedan.

Also should I be able to adjust the subwoofer level?
Can't find it in the MMI menu.

Thank you

Best regards
Christoffer

Ah, okay I see it - thank you.
Do you know if I should be able to adjust it from the MMI?
Should be able to. If you don't have a subwoofer control then your MMI needs its software updating.

Okay thanks - but I guess there aren't any updates available, it's a 2019 model, just got it from the factory yesterday :-/

No subwoofer control has been an issue for some time. My suggestion would be to check your manual and if the MMI / sound section details adjusting the subwoofer via a dedicated control then complain to your dealership.

I checked the manual and there is a section for subwoofer level, but the dealer said it's only for the B&O surround. I just can't believe that a function like that would be removed on purpose.

But thank you - I'll take contact to the dealer again.

Nope, Audi sound system should have a subwoofer control also. Dealers are pretty useless
 
Hey there. I have a FL 8V Limousine and thinking about retrofitting *** to standard 8-speakers system. What are the part numbers for mid speaker and rear parcel subwoofer? Do I need anything for mounting rear parcel sub?

There are many examples for sportback, but i havent seen any limo *** retrofit unfortunately.

Thanks a lot.
 
Picked up my sportback 2 weeks ago with audi sound system with sub in the boot and definitely no sub control in MMI. Could be needing an update myself.

How is the sound quality of the 2019 Audi Sound System?

I have the prefacelift Audi Sound System and I do find it pretty good for my use. I do have the sub control for the prefacelift, but I only set it to be a bit higher than the mid point, so I am curious how good the FL Audi Sound System (especially 2019) is without the control.

It's crap even though it's the same system.. My PFL *** sounded pretty damn good with a few minor tweaks, but then, once I retrofitted MMI2 etc and sub control gone from MMI and it's total crap.. The sub is set to min if not very close to min by default and no way to adjust it, complete waste of the system, it's so bad that I'm planning on retrofitting B&O just to get the sub control back with the updated firmware...

Thanks for your input. I do recall you stating this a few years back. I was just curious whether Audi has at least changed the default for the MY2019+.

Hey Alex! Are you able to update the software on FL MMI to include a sub control for Audi Sound System? Mine has only additional "Sound Effects" menu compared to basic FL system. My SW version is 840 and module no is 81A 035 824 B.

If there is an update available yes but I am not sure there is. I need a vehicles VIN number in order to check.
