Soundaktor post BW22 cars
« on: 12 July 2015, 22:20 »
Hi all

I've read that post build week 22 cars now feature a volume setting which allows adjustment of the Soundaktor within Individual mode settings.  Can anyone with a post BW22 car confirm this is the case?  Thanks.

Couple of people over on the R forum have confirmed this is the case. I'll let you know for sure in a couple of weeks :D

Great, much appreciated Joe  :smiley:

Yeah, that's where I read it, but always like to raise things on here as it might be useful for others to know as presumably not just R specific.  Not disbelieving R forum owners, or anything  :grin:

Forgot to say - two weeks till you get your R then, lucky man  :cool:

I like the look of the redesigned 4-Motion badge on the post wk-22 cars too: http://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/4860-golf-7r-photos/?p=161334

2 weeks is overly optimistic on my part. Its scheduled for build tomorrow week. Irish cars generally land into the dealers about 2 weeks after build date.

Cheers.

Me too. Not seen that before, looks much nicer.  Really glad I'm getting a post week 22 car now, with that and the Soundkator volume setting.  Makes the wait easier to take  :laugh:

Still awaiting my stage 3.  Haven't checked in with dealer for since 24th June at which time it was still est week 34.  If it still is I should get text wc 20/7.  Here's hoping.  Fingers crossed you get yours asap.

The wait is a killer but I can finally see the end in sight! I'd say worst case scenario I'll have it by week beginning Aug 10th, but maybe it'll be a little sooner...

I haven't really minded the wait until now.  My Mk6 might be going soon, and if does, I'll be driving a variety of crapmobiles until the R arrives, so there'll be renewed urgency  :laugh:

I'm assuming this is just a new option in the MFD?   I wonder if we can get a software update for this on older cars...?

I picked my R up 2 weeks ago and in individual mode there is an option to change the 'in cabin engine noise' or something along those lines.. basically soundaktor. But anyhow the options are race normal and eco, obviously Eco no noise race full noise. No option to change to say, 75% 45% etc etc..

Thanks.  Well I guess that's better than nothing.   But such a missed opportunity to give the ability to change it by percentage.

I will try it out in the various modes first to see if I can live with it.  If not, it may be turned down or the plug pulled.
