#59 of 78 Speakers by beefers Mar 08, 2009 (5:14 pm)
I have a 2006 Passat 3.6 4 motion, it has Dynaudio speakers but no subwoofer. The only problem I've had with the car is that I keep blowing the speakers. I would like to upgrade to aftermarket, does anyone have any suggestions to which speakers will work without giving me too much problems? And what size are the door woofers? Thanks!

Replying to: beefers (Mar 08, 2009 5:14 pm) I'm not sure why you are blowing speakers, especially with the Dynaudio system. See this Dynaudio/VW link: http://dynaudio.com/eng/auto/VW/vw.htm for a better understanding of the system in your car. If you are still intent on going aftermarket, check out crutchfield.com and enter your car info. They will identify what speaker sizes you would need to interchange with.   I just swapped out my head unit over the weekend (Premium 7 I believe) with a Pioneer Avic F700BT deck that does NAVI, Bluetooth, and XM Radio. I was very happy with the stock Dynaudio system but wanted built-in NAV and bluetooth while still maintaining XM radio (love it). The Pioneer head unit actually enhances the system's sound to additional levels with the built-in EQ. All in all, I am amazed and extremely pleased with this upgrade and have no intentions to change the speakers out at all. Hope this info helps you in your quest!

Replying to: avaehs (Mar 11, 2009 6:59 pm) Does this car have NAV. The 09 NAV system has HD radio for both AM and FM. The FM implementation doesn't have the subchannels for some weird reason.
#63 of 78 Bluetooth update by rv65 Mar 16, 2009 (9:03 am)
Here are the recommended part numbers for Bluetooth for a Passat. These are the ones you should use.   1Z0 035 729 A - Passat CC only since it's only for white dot MFD displays. 1Z0 035 729 B - Same as 1Z0 035 729 A but for red dot display. Great for non CC's.   Avoid these part numbers   1K0 051 437 1K8 035 730 1K8 035 730 B   Those aren't very good. Thats the Volk-L. The Skoda modules are the 1Z0 ones and are much better. You'll need to have a VCDS dongle cable in order to program it. Skoda kit needs programming but a car stereo shop should be able to install it minus programming.

Replying to: greatcars (Feb 21, 2008 11:18 am) The antenna is standard on the '09's but I think only SAT radios had it on the '06 - '08 models.   Bass not a problem for my taste except with SAT. Crappy "tinny" sound in the Passat and Santa Fe (with upgraded Infinity) with SAT. Must be due to all the compression Sirius/XM put in the music to allow hundreds of channels.

Replying to: bvdj84 (Apr 12, 2008 7:26 pm) Monsoon is great, loved it on a '00 and '03 and remember the amp in the trunk passenger side. Do you want an amp or just plenty of distortion free volume? The '09 CC has great volume on music CD's (haven't tried MP3's yet). Overall sound quality is pretty good too but not as good as I remember the Monsoon. Still, with 8 speakers it's better than a lot of premium radios in the overall price range of the car.
#67 of 78 RCD-510 aka Premium VIII by rv65 Apr 26, 2009 (10:33 pm)
A picture of the Euro spec RCD-510. The US will get it as the Premium VIII. 6.5" non VGA touch screen. Similar to the new RNS-510 but without the NAV, Video, and the HDD. Has a different faceplate. Certain bluetooth modules can access a phone menu. Works with Dynaudio if you are handy with the latest beta of VCDS and have a ross-tech cable that works with it. The Premium VIII supports SD cards and has a 6 CD changer. It will be on the 2010 CC but it's retrofittable to older 06-09 Passats. 09 CC's can have it as well if you enable BAP. CC's with dynaudio will need to code to the Dynaudio BAP option not the regular one. Regular Passat's with Dynaudio will need to code it to Dynaudio. Works great if you have a portable nav and want a nice touch screen radio. Replies to this message: rv65 (Apr 26, 2009 10:35 pm) vabeachcc (Aug 18, 2009 11:19 am) rv65 (Sep 18, 2009 12:14 am)

Replying to: rv65 (Apr 26, 2009 10:33 pm) Just some clarifications.   This unit has full iPod capability with the MDI. It works with the POS VW iPod adapter but you should swap that unit with the MDI and the iPod cable. The MDI supports USB and aux in. Don't use the MDI USB cord with iPod's since it wont work. The MDI requires a $40 cable in order to have full iPod integration. It's really nice. You can browse through your iPod via the touch screen. They have retrofit kits for the MDI and you can retrofit it. It's pricey but worth it. Replies to this message: vabeachcc (Aug 18, 2009 11:19 am) rv65 (Sep 18, 2009 12:14 am)
