mu71rd Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 no idea yet - I'm in almost exactly the same situation (as is scott w). sound pack ordered, and should be here middle of next week with any luck. out of interest - scott - how have things progressed for you? had the final invoice yet? any ideas about transportation? I don't like waiting in the final stages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mu71rd Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 can't remember exactly - around 20th of august I think. Mine's coming from Select Automotive as is Scott's. I know how you feel about the wait - concentration at work is getting tricky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Mine was build week 42 (same as whitehart) his car was delivered today, mine is still being pieced together!!!! Assembly stage 8 apparently, which means its being tested for squeaks and rattles. If you have a Chassis/order number (it should be 6 figures), phone VW customer service on 01908 679121 and ask for an update. They'll tell you where your car is. Would be interested to see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotw Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hi Guys, No invoice yet, I chased Shaun today and he said I'd have it in 45mins....90 mins ago! So, I should get the invoice today, but that means the car is looking like week 45 soonest. Bit of a pain as its getting close to Xmas to be selling my other car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteHArtMart Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Don't know - but can let you know how it sounds on Saturday!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunner Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 The standard RCD300 without soundpack is freekin awful! How do I know, my ex demo has it! Look at £300 to upgrade to a decent head unit. The RCD500 must be unbelieveably brilliant to warrant the outlay over the standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mu71rd Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 i certainly wouldn't have got it, but through Select, the sound pack upgrade was incredibly cheap. I agree the uk dealer price is scandalous! (for my budget anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melchior Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Soundpack adds 8 channel Analogue amplifier, 2X20W & 6X25W and upgraded speakers. I have the RCD500 + soundpack and think it's a significant improvement over the standard audio system. Not as good as a previous Audi A4's Bose system (which had a sub IIRC) but has good sound throughout the range and an excellent but not over obtrusive bass.
