Quick question, does the Mk7 GTI come with the Soundactuator as standard in both the windscreen and the in exhaust system?

As far as I know it's standard on the GTI/GTD/R but only on the windscreen.

GTI has the device behind the windscreen only as far as I'm aware.
I have mine turned down to 25% and its perfect.

Did you use VCDS to turn it down to 25%?

I pulled the plug on mine in my GTI, didn't like the sound. Although I have left it on in my R because it sounds crazy, that and the exhaust mod the car sounds awesome!

Yes it does sound crazy/ridiculous on the R. Not being a fan of the driving modes on the MK7 (just leave it in Sport/Race, fuel savings are negligible in eco/normal - why blunt your throttle response for no good reason?), I felt the need to knock it down. 30% is enough to provide a slight enhancement to the real sounds and everything you hear sounds utterly convincing as natural engine noise, and the natural sound you can hear with the windows down is pretty good.

The exhaust speaker is an optional extra only on the GTD (as part of the 'Sport & Sound Pack')....
