Have you checked both speaker in the rear seats whether they work?

The only thing I'm hesitant about is future updates. I find modern technology, phones especially have a life of not much more than 4 years. If the hardware itself lasts that long then the software seems to fall behind the times.

And this is where these units are great. Apart from the regular updates to the stock ROM there are also multiple developments in progress. I am using one of these branches and there have been some really great releases making the unit even better. |

Yes they are working. I used to fader to check if they were playing by turning off the front speakers. ![]() |

What did you have to do differently given you have a non Bose car. I don't have Bose either but I thought I read that install of these xTrons was more complicated if you didn't have Bose? Really interested in picking up one of these to replace my Concert. Also interested in the reversing camera for this. 2.0T Manual, Brilliant Black, Luxor Beige Leather, Black Extended Leather, Xenons, 18in Turbines, Light Styling Pack, Extended Aluminium Pack, Multi Function Wheel, Concert.

You need to sign up to their VIP club and you will get a code by email. VIP15 last time I got it. |

I have non Bose and it fitted without any alterations. Also fitted the reversing camera, will take some photos tomorrow. I will also post pics of my reversing camera since I did alter it quite a bit. |

Still can't seem to get any feedback on the sound quality. It's all well having lots of functions and a coloured touch screen but if the sounds crap there's little point me changing my Concert.
If you have an Xtrons unit, what's your view on sound quality compared to a stock unit ? 2008 TTS Coupe,

The Xtrons has a notably quieter maximum volume and significantly less bassy, even after tweaking the equaliser. Having said that, you can get a decent sound out of it (you have to set the fader towards the back as it seems to favour that front middle speaker way too much by default, and fiddle with the EQ until you find something you like) and the volume going from 0-30 I find 20 is still usually more than enough. I have the same Xtrons unit as the OP, so I'm curious if he has the same experience as me ![]() |

My hunch is you don't buy the Xtrons for sound quality, you buy it for tech. I'm not in a position to replace my HU yet, but I think I'll probably land up going to one of the more traditional ICE manufacturers.

In terms of sound quality, would it be possible to add on an amp and sub etc. to improve on this with the Xtrons?
I absolutely love my TT and have no notion of changing it anytime soon however I really feel like I'm missing out with the tech, the most modern thing my car has is an old style iPod cable... and I don't even have an iPod!! MK2 TT Coupe V6 Stronic Condor Grey

There is already an external amp on the TT normally. So the quality will be down to the capabilities of the DACs, processing and equaliser.

Hi AlexHarvey52.....did you get the steering wheel volume issue resolved? Any other issues or comments?
Been sitting on fence for ages RNSe v Android but I like the look of this unit - and the price. Any known issues for 2013 TT with hands free. I know hands free has nothing to do with standard ICE but just want to be sure it still works if I change the unit. Also do presets show radio station name or just their frequency? Thanks |

I have just ordered one, I have bose in my 09 Sline TT so will let you know how i get on with the audio!
