Hello Peter, I feel so accomplished right now being able to give you advice rather than just continually taking all of your knowledge for myself. VW mk7 golfs used MOST on their Fender/Dynaudio systems. Unfortunately in the USA, we don't have the mk8 yet. However I am imagining they did the exact same with the new generation. Speaker level outputs from the head unit for basic system, MOST for Fender/Dynaudio in the upper trims. However when switching between the two, you would have to use VAGCOM to program the car to use the other system.

Yes, it would need MOST150, but it’s mega money plus programming as you say. Definitely not happening for the customer at this stage, he’ll just use the HEC BT module in the DSP for better playback quality. 🔊🔊

Hello Peter. Thank you for the great videos. You have helped inspire me to install a system in my MK7.5 GTI. Just a question, how robust is the factory wiring in the doors of the MK7 Golf? Could the wiring handle at least 100 watts? Keep the videos coming.

if you look at the current capacity of wire youd be surprised how much a given gauge can move. also you should have factory dual runs into the doors. which is a bonus

Head unit is working fine? I went to a workshop and asked about installing amplifier to stock speakers, they said it will not working because of diagnsotics system in headunit. They said that there need to be installed 20Watt transistors to bypass it. Is it true? Also they said I will lost warranty after that.

Warranty loss is bullshit. If you feed the speaker level into the DSP, then that takes care of everything. Having said that, alternative source is advised as OEM is poor.

Get install!! BUT... as it was when it came to you, I can't believe it wasn't possible to get HU high-level into the Helix DSP, EQ flattened, speakers tuned and feed into an amp that was feeding those banded speaker in an active setup. Something's not right here, all the bones for a decent sound setup were there already. In my mind, the majority of improvement here was bypassing the HU via direct Bluetooth and tuning the DSP well. I'm crushed right now, as I installed Focal 4.320 amp with PS165 Flax Evo's front, IS165 Coax rear, and a Cerwin Vega 12" tyre sub...and it sounds terrible. Was going to add a DSP and an extra amp to go active, but this video terrifies me that it won't help.

@@mergenmundree2833 i believe they moved the factory amp from under the driver or passenger seat to the trunk and the golf 8 on the left somewhere possibly behind the factory carpet even i have seen a diagram that would indicate that is exactly where it is but there's no way to share that with you the Gulf 8 also uses a2B protocol different from a lot of other Volkswagen Audi group things although they will all move to that eventually i've been looking for a preamp interface for you that matches eat they are available for Ford vehicles Ford has been using that protocol for quite a few years of yet find one that is explicitly compatible with the golf 8 though. I would suggest doing your research of how to code the factory amp for off or together which in turn makes the signal out of the actual Mib3 unit in the glovebox a flat signal then use line level perhaps. Not ideal I know. You wouldn't catch me dead using line level Converters at all ever but not sure anyone has made a product for the newer VAG GROUP PRODUCTS YET. If I find anything I will report back 😊

Although I have conflicting information from different sources that Volkswagen now run and A2b protocol but perhaps that's for the next gen 8.5 golf, Because it appears from the photos in this forum the guys definitely still have the optical output available the amplifier is in the boot now left hand side apparently I'm not sure from what perspective they are saying the left hand side i think it's from standing at the back of the car looking into the trunk perhaps hidden behind the carpeting not where this bear tyre sub is on the side wall. I should worn you that if the digital interface is applicable to your upgrade you want to do after you read the link I have left bear in mind that they are extremely expensive so I hope the person has plenty of money or the information is useless but there is no better option for a flat signal and perfectly into grated system with absolutely no downsides it is digital from start finish and flat as a pancake 🥞 i have this nav TV Zen V in my golf 7.5 Even if the current stereo doesn't have an amplifier installed as long as the back of the unit in the glove box has the optical output it can be activated to get a digital signal.
