In vcds there’s a module for information electric (5f) and I have a module for sound system(47)
Are you guys looking at the wrong module for software number/revision to get your sub control?
Just a suggestion
Oh well. Ignore me. Barking up the wrong tree.*** doesn't have 47, it's all 5F... And from my understanding, the fix is 5F firmware update...

Was looking at mine which has the b&o.
If there are people with the same firmware and some do and don’t have sub control then it must be in something else.
The firmware drives the main unit and all modules attached must have their own driver/software and possible firmware.
Could it be a driver issue for the sub/amp?
I’m just thinking how I would go about it in a windows based pc. Easier to think about it like a pc. If it’s not firmware then it’s driver/software issue or just complete incompatibility.
simple fix, MMI update for free from Audi anywehre, i asked them when i did my service about it , mine didnt have the Subwoofer control. now it does. the B/O system is booming
Hi,
I’ve read the various posts on the forum regarding the lack of adjustment for the sub woofer.
My car, a 2018/19 model, comes with the *** but as others have found it does not have adjustment for the sub woofer. There seems to be conflicting information on this and I’m wondering if anybody ever got a definitive answer from Audi whether or not *** (not the Bang & Olfsen setup) should have adjustment. I do have the sub woofer in the boot ok but only the standard Treble/Bass/ balance/fader and Sound Effects settings. The latter only allows change from “all” to “front” with no option for “rear.
Thanks
Not true, in this case it’s 100% firmware and not parameters as I tested with a number of vehicles. Now if you wanted to retrofit Audi Sound System and B&O then parameters are involved.The appearance or not of things like DSP/Subwoofer control has nothing to do with firmware which is why two devices running the same software can show different options. Also, on the number going "backwards", the US and Europe always run different software so you can't cross flash, there may be hardware differences too based on radio reception amongst other things. Numbers being different between European devices will be down to the hardware being different. There's a number of combinations on the A3.
Menu/output options is down to the parameterisation of the units. This can't be done with VCDS. When I did my S1 I used VCP to re-parameterise and enable Audi Sound System. First one enables the internal amplifier, the second tells the unit what speakers are supported and what options are supported. On my unit, enabling the sub also sorts the menu.
As I understand it, that's not the case on the facelift A3 and at the moment I don't think anyone has the parameterisation for the sub menu. It may be possible to read out from a working car but that parameterisation will only be good for the same hardware.

They don’t. The no sub control for factory fitted systems was by design. Owners had been complaining about rattles and vibrations from the Rear of their cars and the root cause was “found” to be the subwoofer but instead of padding out and securing trims etc the official fix was.... “remove the a ability to turn up the bass from new cars” and thus remove the issue lol.Ahhh ok thanks for that. Interesting. Why on earth do they have so many ways of doing the same things

Different platforms use different control modules and technology etc. Using the MQB platform for example, facelift cars basically did away with long coding in central electric. Things evolve and move on.I meant across the platforms but anyway, awesome "fix". It's quite clever but a bit naughty really.

So Audi dealership updated it for you? Did they charge? which software version do you have now after update?
Thanks
My version is 0213 so there is defo an update. Seen some other comments where there's a newer updates 0235
I got mot this week with Audi so will ask abktj further updates.
