#49 of 78 DynoAudio 2008 3.6 Wagon by fieldse Mar 25, 2008 (8:58 am)
I just found out that some of the 2008 3.6 Station Wagons didn't come with the DynoAudio sound system standard even though the invoice states that it did due to a production issue. Volkswagen called me yesterday and offered me $1000 plus sales tax for my inconvenience. I was told that the DynoAudio system couldn't be installed after market. Any comments??

#51 of 78 Factory Amp? by bvdj84 Apr 12, 2008 (7:26 pm)
I am wondering if the 08 Passat Komfort, Premium Audio System has a factory Amplifier? Not the Dynaudio, but the Premium..? It sounds so clean and powerful, but I never really got to turn it up too loud, but hopefully it doesn't distort too easily.   My mothers 04 Jetta has the Monsoon, and I love it! It has a factory Amp in the trunk, but, I looked at the Passat and haven't seen one yet... I am hoping there is one, that will be all the better, I love my music!   Please let me know.

Replying to: bvdj84 (Apr 12, 2008 7:26 pm) I was also wondering those that have a newer passat, like 2006-2008. Those that have the Premium Stereo system, those with the 6disc, how would you describe the overall sound, does it play loud and clear? Please let me know...
#53 of 78 Media Interface and touch screen radio/navi units by rv65 Apr 16, 2008 (9:48 am)
They have a new Media interface for VW. Works with iPod, USB, and aux in. Full integration of the iPod but requires an iPod cable that is sold seperately. Sadly it needs a harness but it's required for full MFI integration. It shows what song you are listening to. Sadly it doesn't work on the current VW radios. Only RNS-510, and RCD-510. RCD-310 is also supported. Maybe it works on them but is guaranteed comaptible with those 3.   The RNS-510 however is coming for the 09 models. It's an Improved touch screen navigation system with dynaudio support. Supports the MDI very well and the European skoda bluetooth kit. RNS-510 has Built in sirius radio and live Sirius traffic. This system can be retrofitted but needs the US maps and a sirius antenna extension cable. The hard drive can store maps and 17.67 GB of your favorite tunes. SD card is a plus. Has DVD Video, MP3, and WMA. Can play DVD movies while in park. Only works up to 2 GB SD cards.   VW is also planning an RCD-510. The RCD-510 has the same touchscreen display but no navigation. Same bluetooth integration. No hard drive for music but has a SD Card slot. RCD-510 has a 6 disc CD changer. No sirius traffic but Sirius SAT radio will also be included in the US version. No DVD Movie support but has MP3 and WMA. Great for those who prefer portable over OEM integration. Can have a nice OEM touch screen but no navigation. VW wants to have touch screen controls and this is what they are planning.

#56 of 78 wire by greatcars May 09, 2008 (6:47 am)
Replying to: passatlover3 (May 09, 2008 6:40 am) some wires may be misconnected or disconnected or the whole electric system needs a proper restart. Replies to this message: passatlover3 (May 09, 2008 7:09 am)
#57 of 78 Re: wire [greatcars] by passatlover3 May 09, 2008 (7:09 am)
Replying to: greatcars (May 09, 2008 6:47 am) We tried. but nothing worked. My radio works fine. It's only the tiptronic and the '' safe failed mode''.
#58 of 78 06 Passat Aftermarket Install Help? by njsteve Mar 06, 2009 (2:25 pm)
I'm installing a Pioneer Avic F700BT (NAV, Bluetooth, XM capable) with XM module to replace my OEM head unit. I also have Dynaudio and an active XM account. I bought the dash kit, harness, and antenna converter (for AM/FM). My questions are: 1. Can I use existing shark fin SAT antenna? If so, is it clearly marked behind dash? 2. Depending on where I mount the XM module, someone mentioned I may need an extension cable to tie in to the shark fin? 3. For those who have been thru this before with an 06 or later Passat, any pointers, tips, or things to be aware of would be greatly appreciated!!   Many thanks in advance ...
