Volkswagen's factory-installed audio system brand varies depending on the vehicle configuration. Base models are equipped with VDO, mid-range models feature Blaupunkt audio systems, while top-tier models come with Dynaudio audio systems. Below is relevant information about car audio systems: Maintenance methods for car audio systems: Use cotton swabs for cleaning and professional tools for maintenance. In addition to keeping the main unit clean, ensure that tapes and CDs remain dust-free. Good usage habits can maximize the system's lifespan, and avoid making drastic volume adjustments. Common car audio system brands: Bose, Burmester, Dynaudio, Bowers & Wilkins, Meridian, FM-AcoustiCS, etc.
I've driven several Volkswagen models and noticed significant differences in their factory audio systems. The base models usually come with rebranded 'Volkswagen Audio' systems, featuring low-power speakers with mediocre performance, especially when listening to rock music where the bass sounds muffled. The mid-to-high trim levels are different though. For example, the previous generation Touareg was equipped with Dynaudio speakers and had a separate amplifier in the trunk, delivering exceptionally clear vocals. Recently, while test-driving the new Tiguan L, I noticed the Beats red circle logo on the A-pillars—the strong bass vibrations when connected to a phone would likely appeal to younger drivers with this tuning style. However, it's worth noting that modification shops mention the speakers in domestically produced Volkswagens are OEM by Jiangsu Sanden Beier, and upgrading to a better head unit can significantly improve sound quality.
