Golf mk8 / Re: GTI 8.5 first impressions
« Last post by candywhite12 on 23 April 2026, 11:03 »fair enough, quoting from my Audio post then:Hey how did you get on with the sound?
got intermittent sound twice in a week, music cuts, thought it was my usb stick and my music, nope, same with radio and spotify. Had to hard reset the system. Some members in other forums mention having to change the OSF Control Unit (part code 572035876G), others cite that is happens because of CarPlay or Android Auto.
As if the disappointment that for such a lovely car, such a poor audio system choice wasn't enough...
Anyone else experiencing this?makes for an interesting read, cheers mate. I'll also post in car audio section as im facing some issues with intermittent sound now and then
I’m not sure too many mk8.5 owners visit the car audio section of the forum so probably worth posting your details of your audio issues here as well.
I have a new GTI 50 and I have the same problem with the sound dropping out.
so i player around with various settings, not able to get it to my 7.5's dynaudio heights but my current settings, i can live with. depends on the kind of music you listen to also, my tastes are not particularly bassy but i do like high pitch and volume

Golf mk8 / GTI | 50 INFO
« Last post by MrEdition50 on 23 April 2026, 09:50 »Hi guys, right after some investigation, ive managed to find out some stuff regarding the ed50 so, first of all there is and its now confirmed 1,500 units coming to the uk and they will be numbered and receive a plaque! secondly, the problem and reason why alot of peoples build dates are slipping back is due to the performance pack and the titanium exhaust, so cars without PP will be built from now and be here for the start of summer (or earlier) with the exceptionally lucky ones getting theirs with the pp but it will be more non PP cars than PP cars, these are expexted late summer. i myself was told september for mine so not expecting a confirmed build date or anything until alot later in the year now, hope this helps and if anyone has anything more please update this post with anything ED50

Cheers for all your insights.

« Last post by GE90 on 22 April 2026, 20:40 »Hi
So you have a MK8.5 with the Audison upgrade? If so, a few owners have experienced this with the MK8.5, which is cured with the Hertz.
Many thanks.

With the Audison fitted some MK8.5 owners were reporting crackles. First thought it was interference with the larger screen but more than likely software or amp hardware differences.
The Hertz doesn’t suffer with this.
Cheers
I've noticed this, so I may look to change to the Hertz option.
Are the kits the same minus the speaker itself?
