It's something to do with the lack of space due to the 4WD. Not a deal breaker for me, just listen to the engine instead :-)

Yeah, I know there's a problem fitting it in the boot because of the Haldex system, but was hoping they'd work out a way sooner or later  :undecided:

Not a deal breaker for me either but would've been nice to have it.

Cheers.  That's great news.  I'd heard it was planned for BW45 also (and BW22 before that) but wasn't convinced it would happen.  Not ordering till early next year though so an even longer wait  :sad:

I never had Dynaudio in my Mk6 and thought the quality was excellent without it. However now I have it on the Mk7 I think its absolutely superb and would be a definite for the Mk8.

Crystal clear, punchy sound with absolutely no distorting and half way is more than enough volume for me. Its absolutely belting it out at that setting.

Currently have it in my mk6 and agree it's never really lived up to expectation.  If it was the same system I'm not sure I'd bother with it again, but by all accounts the upgraded system in the mk7 is far superior, so if it's becoming available on the R then I'm willing to wait for it.

How odd as I would say the Dynaudio in my Mk6 was vastly superior to that in my MK7.  I find the bass gives up mid volume and leaves the sound tinny. The door speakers in the MK7 have very little punch, where as in the MK6 they had real power.  I appreciate there is now a sub in the boot, which should make up for this but the sub seems to be pretty weak.  :cry:

I never had the Dynaudio in the Mk6 so its hard to compare. The stock stereo on that was ok.
I'm not an audiophile by any manner of means but can appreciate a good sound and must say the Mk7 Dynaudio is way above my expectations.
Its way above the Audi Sound System that I came from. It was just mediocre if I'm honest.

Hmmm, interesting, very subjective I suppose.  Well the only way find out is to spec it and then see if it's a disappointment or an improvement   :huh:
