No rear sound or possibly no rear speakers ?!
« on: 22 March 2007, 20:18 »
Hi all, first post & need help!

Just got my new GTI via motorpoint so is an import. Was only way I could get it in budget as it is a company car. Everything so far is great except....

The sound from the stereo is terrible, & further investigation seems to show no sound from the rear? Have speaker grills but no sound so possibly no actual speakers.

Is this a known issue with an import, & if so is it an easy enough job to retrofit some? Or will it be a nightmare! I assume if there are no actual speakers then there will be no wiring in place.

Going into the menu only gives L/R balance option, no fade so I assume the worst.

Great car apart from this, but this is really letting it down unfortunately.

Any advice or plan of action would be gratefully received!

Many thanks in advance.  :smiley:

Welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately I've heard this before about cars supplied by motorpoint.  It's definitely not a general issue with imports as mine is an import (not from motorpoint though) but to "full UK spec".  Do you have anything in writing saying that the car is to UK spec (8 speakers)? Unfortunately I don't know the practicalities of fitting additional speakers.  You do have the other standard things like dual climate, auto lights and wipers don't you?
