RNS510 tone compared with RCD300

<< < (3/6) > >>

Lol, ahhh right. The wife's Match doesnt have it so I assumed it was a speaker!

Hi all, thanks for the comments.  I had a chance today to listen to a colleagues 3dr GTI ( 2005 ) with the RCD300 and no soundpack. Has  the 10 speaker system and sounded a lot bassier than mine. Sounds as if you have a small sub in there !  For continuity I have been using two CDs . Immaculate collection - Madonna and Daft Punk - Discovery.  The punch and bassline on Holiday was way way better on the RCD300 and so was DPs Voyager.
This is pointing towards a speaker issue I think. Is there any way of checking connections and performance with Vag-com ?

I noticed the same thing.
Had the rcd in my gt sport, and a factory fitted rns510 in my pirelli.

RNS doesn't come close in a bass sense.
There are some hidden menus you can check out depending on which firmware you are running.
iirc, this worked for me, but didn't help with my sound in the end:

to me it feels like the 'loud' button you find on other stereos has been turned off.

I believe a factory fitted rns means you dont get the amp under the passenger seat that you do get in a standard gti (at least that is the case here in oz). Check under your passenger seat, then your mate's.

This is exactly the problem. Glad I'm not the only one ! Neither mine or my mates have the soundpack amp. Maybe I need it then !!  Gonna try and get to listen to another RNS510 to compare like for like.  Someone in another thread on here mentioned that if the headunit is coded for the soundpack then the speaker outputs will be different than if it were just the 10 speaker system.

I've just swapped my RCD300 to a RNS510 and thought the sound quality much better.
