So my VAG-COM arrived today and I had a little play with stuff - got the horn beep with alarm activated, then I came upon an odd setting:
Apologies if this has already been posted... The Sound System (J525) coding. Bit 7 00xxxx? allows setting according to the interior of the car. Mine was 00xxxx7 which is for Right-Hand-Drive/Leather/Gasoline. I changed it to 00xxxx5 which is for RHD/Cloth/Gasoline and the bass tone came booming out. It's now too much to have the bass on full. If you set 00xxxx1 which is for RHD/Cloth/Diesel then, for me the bass is too much. At last, my sound system is perfect.

Excuse my ignorance - what is the VAG-COM? I desperately want my stereo to justify the extra I spent on the Bose system. At the moment, I feel entirely ripped off!

However, if its that good i will buy vag com just for this.. as others have said.. in the TTS i feel a little ripped off atm with the bose, i have the bass set on full and its still pretty dismal....

It's to do with the acoustics. Cloth absorbs bass more than leather, hence the cloth setting will 'boost' the bass to compensate. Also, Diesel engines emit a lower frequency and louder, interior noise to the cabin, hence the need to boost the bass tone.

Afraid not. Check if someone local to you has one before topping up your credit card. I'll give this a try and report back. mk1 > 350z > evoIV > r32 > mk2 > a5 > e92m3

God bless you my son. After setting it to Cloth/Diesel, the bass is now vastly improved (chalk/cheese). Was

@UKLooney - Happy to oblige, mate. I went for Cloth/Petrol (code 0246115) which was enough for me. I set the bass setting at just over 1/2 way and a couple of clicks to the rear speakers and its perfect sound. The bass comes through at low volumes and vibrates the seat when cranked up. Lovely jubley.

I already did that. Take a look at my earlier post. Another option is to find a VAG-COM owner who lives nearby. The kit cost $300.83 inc. of shipping direct from the US manufacturer (Ross-Tech). That's £204.34 at the current exchange rate. Last edited by GhosTTy on 23 Apr 2009, 23:34, edited 1 time in total.
