Hi guys, how do you tell if your passat had the dynaudio upgrade? I recently brought a 2008 r36 avant and not sure whether it's fitted?
Cheers

Check under the passenger seat, that's where the amp is located.
Also there are two mics in the headliner near the map reading lights.
If you have VCDS you can scan for it.

Ah ok thanks kamold. Does the dynaudio include Bluetooth? I've tried to sync via the head unit but can't get it to pair with my galaxy s 2 so assumed it want fitted.

No, Dynaudio is the amp and active monitoring.
Bluetooth is a separate module that can be installed under the other seat or behind the climatronics panel in the dash.

Ok will check under the passenger seat, hopefully the amp is there.

What are the 2 mics for in the headliner? And what do you mean by active monitoring?

Not an expert but the mics basically monitor the listening environment in the cabin and adjust the dsp settings on the fly to optimise the sound.

Ok makes sense. Thanks again

You'll find all R36's will have the amp under the passenger seat. The dynaudio amp is all silver while the standard amp has black sides. Cars equipped with the dynaudio upgrade will also have the badging on the speaker grills. Definate way to check is by either getting the part number off the amp or via VCDS
