Dynaudio Vs Plug and Play

[Booth11]

Dynaudio became available on the R from build week 45 - 3rd Nov 2014 onwards (MY15), so if you are looking for an R with the upgraded sound, it needs to have been built from that date.  I delayed my R order until Dynaudio was available and they had sorted out how to fit the sub in the boot with the haldex system.

I personally think Dynaudio is fantastic and one of the best very value for money options offered.  Once the speakers are burned in, it develops a rich velvety bass, and sounds fantastic through the whole range.  If I could have only specced one thing on my R, it would have been Dynaudio.

I specced the dynaudio with my factory build gti having come from the bose also on my A3 n prior to that my modded focus which had 2 x 3500w amps  2 x 12" subs 2pr 6x9 upgraded front n rear door speakers and front component speakers lol yup it was loud and handled the Base and full range but when I sold that n cane off thar scene the a bose was ok but my personal opinion is the dynaudio is better than the bose definitely on the lower end sound

The Dynaudio upgrade is a no brainer for the money, especially when you consider that the cheapest pair of home stereo speakers they make sell for around £500.
They make some of the very best hi fi, professional monitor and home cinema speakers available anywhere.
I run a full 5.1 Dynaudio surround system and a seperate Dynaudio stereo system, so I suppose I'm a little bit bias

The original question wasn't "is Dynaudio good?" though was it.

I'd agree that it was worth having as a proper system (the tech pack actually makes it actually a discount on the NavPro, although I suspect the "tech pack" was just a parts bin clearance promotion) just not that the plug and play audio system was the equivalent.

You're right, it wasn't, but I thought I'd mention it anyway

Thanks for the info. So would that be most 64 plate Golf R's onward? I have seen some 15 plate Golf R's with it but not 64 plate ones. I'll still try to hear the standard set up and compare it to my current Bose one.

The Dynaudio sound quality also jumped massively in MY16.  I had a MY 14 Gti with Dynaudio which was ok , but nowhere near as good as my previous Mk6 with the system (and no sub). My MY17 Dynaudio is far more punchy, with a massive amount more bass response and overall far better sound quality.  By comparison my Gti sounded like it did not even have the system.

Guess gen2 DM/DP has it's impact too.
I thought it was about the same with the standard DM2 in my GTD compared to DM1 in my old estate, though it's much improved after putting the rather expensive Helix 'so-called' Plug & Play unit in....
Bass does make the rear window shake occasionally now

[infernox]

When would MY16 be? What is DM1 and DM2?

That's also known as mib1 or mib2.  If it has car play app connect then it's mib2... From about mid 2016 onwards
