I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

[TungstenR]

TungstenR you are still young enough to want a Tiguan Highline with R-Line kit all over it so don't give me that ! You just aren't into car audio. There is always time to enjoy music in the car, just like there are other times where its time to turn the radio off and enjoy the engine sound!!

Your car looks stunning. Hope you are enjoying it!

I'm a musician, the way I hear and enjoy music is different than most people, through the years I've learned to listen and enjoy sounds differently, you won't hear me comment on those that haven't made that journey... If you would have quoted my whole comment you would have seen I've changed the way I see/hear music, but also with that the way I see/hear/experience life itself, but I think it isn't the goal of this forum to go into that. No car music installation/experience can come close to the experience I can have at home, as I've already tried to explain before, I do enjoy sharing music en route, but I don't give it the highest priority as it's impossible to come close to the experience I can have/share at home.... I think it's more about priorities then anything else, wouldn't you think?

Yes my car looks stunning , and I'll also improve it, as I'm also a designer... but I'll keep it subtle as the colour I've chosen already complements the sharp/angled lines of the design concept, it's part of how I enjoy life. I make choices that give me joy alright

Thanks Frogasauras

just rounding the last bend before coming into port Philip. Will dock tomorrow. If things go to plan tomorrow I'll pop by and take a look. Never know might see an orange 1 coming off. There won't be that many I would think.

Also a musician........and agree car audio is almost always going to be a compromise but we frequently compromise on audio quality for convenience. Think MP3. The fact is that sometimes it is just good to have music on in the cat...the hours drive where you can listen to music when you can't allocate that hour to critical listening at home with the stereo. I say enjoy your music however you can consumer it compromises or not.

car looks great BTW.

Thank you Mac135, I'm sure you'll also be waiting to experience what the car sounds like (higher revs, "dsg farts" etc. ) once the engine has been "broken in"...

I don't tend to feel the need to upgrade car audio, and haven't done so in the past. However, the sound quality from the new Tiguan is sub-par. It's pretty much the only negative in what is an amazing car. My two Jettas have not had Dynaudio, yet the sound quality is very good. The Tiguan just stereo just sounds a bit thin and flat. I did a comparison when I drove a Tiguan a few days ago. Played some music on the radio, then payed a song from my phone. I did the same thing when I jumped back into my Jetta and it was easy to acknowledge that the sound was a lot better in the Jetta. I'm far from an audiophile, but the difference to me is quite significant.

You must have been lucky and picked up one that was already scheduled to be built. If you don't mind me asking, which packs did you order with your highline?

Yeah think I may have fell lucky and got one that was possibly scheduled to be a demo. Only extras I ordered were DAP and front and rear mudflaps (and a free tank of fuel ) subject to test drive

From what I can see, the first ones coming out of the factory where straight highlines (or those with DAP). After that the R-Lines started to roll, and after that R-Lines with sunroof.
