What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Daks]

I bought the online Haynes manual today for the MK7....first digital repair "book" I've purchased. Let's see how I like it... I do use a tablet often when messing with OBD11 + JB4

How much was it?

guys, I blew one of speakers. I was listening to music, guess the song had to much bass and all I heard was a pop and the audio sounded distorted, no bass at all. Now it sounds bad and weak. How serious of a job this is and buying parts? Can't believe this happened.

Here's what I did below, but your mk7 has components in the rear, not coaxials like my mk7.5.

Because these aftermarket speakers are much higher sensitivity, they are louder than the stock speakers, even at only 50% volume.

finally put the EQT order in for an upgraded hpfp tune....they don't have that option in the drop downs, so had to talk with Jesse to tag Cooper to make sure the order is right.

That makes sense. Might be some sort of protection?

the rubber surrounds can get stiff in the cold. Normal

You're running an IS20?

I'd say get some Rivet Nuts and never deal with drilling out speaker rivets again.

The Helix sub/dsp is great; you can do a lot worse for more money. It was one of the first things I did to my GTI after being spoiled by Dynaudio in a Mk6 and being very underwhelmed with the stock system in the Mk7. VW also tends to run rebates quarterly for accessories which can help mitigate the cost further.

I didn't realize how spoiled I was until I went from the MK6 with Dynaudio to the MK7.5.

I need that Helix bad..the stereo is so lifeless

Just add a sub, amp and lc2i…. Done

Finally got my $12 AliExpress auto-off reversal cord (or whatever you wanna call it) in the mail. Now the system is off by default but I’m already used to hitting the button every time I get in, so I’ll probably keep hitting it and turn it back on every time.

haha,

you'll get used to it and forget now the car even has the feature! I only drive the Tiguan like 2-3 times throughout the week and I've forgot already, lol.

This can’t be done by unplugging the connector at the battery?

27$, honestly it looks pretty good. I like being able to CTRL+F and search keyword etc.

With that said, I can make PDF pages of it, if anyone needs R&R instructions on a specific item. DM me

that's what they say. I didn't bother using that method though. i also didn't pay the extra for the B2b kit and got the cheap China version.

You have a link for it? Should work for Atlas.

Got out of work and now I have bass, music sounds better tfg. I honestly have no knowledge in speakers at all. I don’t feel comfortable enough to be pulling trims myself and snap clips. The good thing is the speakers sound better. Could be better tho. Wish the standard speakers came with better audio quality. Ran OBD11 and got this.

EDIT: Its F’d again. Looks like it’s something that’s gonna b on & off until I fix it
