I've had my Jetta for a month now and to my knowledge you're the only ones doing something like this, so I look forward to being one of your first customers to pick up all this just in time for the holidays. Waiting anxiously for that purchase link - thanks for all the work you're doing on this car!
I'm eagerly waiting for the speaker upgrade. I had a 05 Honda Civic, and the guy I bought it from had installed an upgraded system with a sub. After buying the Jetta (my first brand new car) I really miss the sound quality, but didn't know where to start. Definitely gonna try this Amp kit out, and speakers once you release the video.
Unfortunately Pat does not work here anymore and has sold his car since he lives in NYC. We are looking for a car to do the speaker install but are having a hard time fining someone willing to leave us their car for the weekend.
Having just popped my door panels (19 Jetta S), it's mostly the stock speakers to blame. They are so terrible, there aren't even any tweeters. You do need spacers to mount regular speakers though. They will hit the window regulator when you roll down the window if not. But yes, HUGE difference just with even cheap speakers. I bought a set of Dual 6.5s.
I just bought a 2019 Jetta RLine. I cannot believe how bad the system sounds. I was listening to License To Ill at full volume and coukdnt hear the vocals at all. I ordered this from you guys and just got shipping notification. I can not wait to get it installed.. looking forward to your speaker suggestions.
It's something I don't personally understand. I'm a huge audio nerd. Nothing in my home is without delicious audio to it. It's NOT expensive for a car. Like, you can grab Focal woofers for like 50-100 bucks a pop. 100-ish or so for an amp. Like, you're looking at like, less than a grand in just putting some decent fucking audio in a car's system. I don't get what car manufacturers are saving by hurting their own brand when it comes to the stereo. If you want primo saved for your higher trim, just fucking use better speakers/amps. Chances are people aren't going to buy the more expensive trim anyways just for the audio, so charge a little more for base.
Paul Boda Try going to settings and switching it to “maximum”. You will notice a huge increase in both volume and audio quality. Once you do that, it turns into a very solid sound system
I leased a 2019 Jetta R-Line the other day, and am EXTREMELY disappointed in the sound. The radio sounds terrible, blue tooth sounds terrible, and apple car play sounds terrible. It sounds like I went to Target and bought a crappy portable speaker, or as if the speakers were underwater. I am very picky about sound and would not have chosen this car if I had known that...... How easy is it to upgrade my sound system?
I felt the same way when I listened to Pat's car. The amplifire upgrade is very easy. We are working on a speaker upgrade but do not have an ETA on it yet.
Worst stereo I've ever heard. It was distractingly bad. Dumbest shit ever. Liked everything about the car until I turned on the radio. VW lost my business.
We are working on that at the moment. We usually do not upgrade speakers unless we do a whole system with a sub so we have found that many of our go-to speakers do not have enough low end bass for a car that does not have a sub. As soon as we figure it out we are going to post a video.
Are you going to do a video where you replace the speakers or at least remove the door panels? I really need to fix the rattling coming from both front doors.
Yes we are going to do a speaker upgrade video and upgrade package. The turn on and off noise we just fixed took a few weeks to fix while keeping it compact and not too expensive.
We used some old ancient sorcery that I cannot reveal. I've been doing this almost 20 years. I cant give away all my secrets. But this kit will include the fix.
When you add an aftermarket amp you sometimes get a turn on/off pop. We had to come up with an easy cheap fix that didn't add too much to the harness in size or price.
Hey guys, my son purchased this a while back for his Jetta. Everything worked good at first but after a month or so, the amp pop showed up even with the amp pop adaptor. Also yesterday his battery was dead. Not sure if it was related but did I install something wrong. Any suggestions?
You should have called us thats what we're here for. I've never had that POP complaint before. Call me up and we'll figure out that needs to be swapped out. As far as the battery dying its probably unrelated becasue the turn off pop happens when the amp turns off. Also please let me know if you do not have a 2019 Jetta. We designed this for a 2019 Jetta only. The Tiguan for example needs the harness slightly modified.
I have a 19 jetta if you guys need it to do any videos let me know im in philly and i really want to try out the radio upgrade you guys are doing in this video
This has been done for at least a year. We still need a car to do the radio replacement but I would need the car for a few days to film. enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_PNPAMP_VW16.html
I cant really do a video on that. We do have a custom subwoofer and a Breakout harness that may help with your Tiguan install. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5uIecOfY-jU.html enfigcarstereo.com/ENFIG_AAI4_VW16.html
A little of both but mainly helps with the punch of the sound. You feel the bass. The system without tweeters also lacks highs so we are looking for the best combination for speakers for this car,
VW's usually remember their own radios. Safe mode usually only happens when you try to connect the radio into a different car. This one did not go into safe mode.
I have only had one issue where a guy said he had no audio but it worked perfect on the bench. And one of our early units was pinned wrong. We not have a testing system to prevent those issues.
