How can I remove the sound pack?

(1/5) > >>

Garth:
I have the premium sound pack which is quite good, but since I have upgraded from RCD500 to RCD510, the output is too loud. VW have clearly put a MUCH louder amp in the new head unit, so the separate power amp is not needed. It means that I can't put the volume up more than half way.

I want to remove the amp and do without it. Does anyone know if this can be done? I have unplugged it, but then I get no output at all (obvious!). Would I need to rewire the whole audio system to remove it?

Can you get a 'pass though' connector so that the amp can be removed and the connectors put together? I have tried to do this myself with a few wires and it does work, but I don't know which pins are which speakers and there are 20 connections to match! 20x20= a lot of possible permutations.

I have dismantled the amp in the hopes of finding a gain control, but there's nothing, so I had to put it back in  :sad1:

Have you coded the RCD510 so it knows it has the sound pack connected???

Didn't know it could be.

As far as I'm aware, the amp is not available with the 3rd gen head units on new cars.

When you go into the Radio coding there is an option to tell the head unit the type of system your running, like standard speakers, soundpack or Dynaudio.

It's a 30 second job if you have access to VCDS  :happy2:
