Golf sportline 2011, people can hear me and bluetooth audio is working for music, sounds like a wire problem, can i bypass vw phone thru my amp in the back?

[kwalton]

When you say "amp in the back" are you referring to a factory amp?

How are you getting signal from the factory radio to the new amp?

I have finished 2-2012's (one being my own) in the past few weeks and have had zero issues with the bluetooth. Both are using some sort of processor before the amp which is powering the new speakers.

HOW ARE YOU GETTING SIGNAL FROM THE FACTORY RADIO TO THE AMP?

Are you using LOC's?? Processor?? High level inputs??
Where did you grab said signal??

Lemme ask the guy that done the job, ill repost then

This is getting funny. I've done a decent amount of MK6 J/G for an entire audio overload (4 ch., mono/2 ch., speakers, etc.) and always retained the bluetooth.

What it sounds to me is that whoever installed you 4 ch took short cuts, only grabbed rear signal, or simply did it wrong.

[juldupp]

Is it true that bluetooth's signal goes to front left speakers? W/e I'm Still waiting on te guys response, he said he asked to his representative and hes waiting for a response.

Yes, the bluetooth is through the front channels.

[juldupp]

Yeah he just told me that he took his signal on back speakers to the amp.. And cancelled the ones that came from te radio.
So what i tell him to do now??
If he plugs the front radio channels to the radio i need a processor or some thing?

[NFrazier]

Youll need a signal summing device or processor. Then get it done right.

[juldupp]

What tells you its not done right?

[juldupp]

He just didnt knew bluetooth wouldn't worked, normally hes doing older cars but hes still good with audio, hope hea not charging me to install the processor

Well it is safe to say that 99.9% of all factory bluetooth goes through the front speakers. Moreover, 95% of aftermarket bluetooth units go through the front channels....

You most likely will be charged as its more work.

Even still, if he is an actual "installer" and not just a trunk monkey he should know to look for factory features tht would be lost with the replacement of factory components. That is his JOB.

I have never used the JL Audio Cleensweep but I have used http://www.ebay.com/itm/AudioControl...item4844966ddc and http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-ALPINE-P...item1c258c03b1 both with great success. I have the Alpine in my own personal car and am more than satisfied with it.

[NFrazier]

the LC6i will do what you need, its a good product, inexpensive, and shouldnt be that expensive to install.

[juldupp]

So ill need to control my sound via a control pod with the lc6i? Is there a Much better sound with the pxe-h660 than the lc6i, the pxe is twice the price worth it paying the extra 100$?

[kwalton]

You will be able to control volume with the Alpine and Audio Control pieces through the radio's volume knob once everything is all set up. The audio control will use the radio bass and treble control. The Alpine has a remote to control bass, treble, balance, fade, and sub level controls.

One thing to note is when using either piece, the factory radio will lose the fader control. This is because it will not be seeing the speakers hooked up to it. The only way that I can think to keep fader is to add a 4 ohm resistor in line on the outputs so that the radio "thinks" there is a speaker still hooked up.

By audio control piece you mean the lc6i? If you were me, would you go for the alpine? Considering i want the best sound available, butif its not a flagrant updrade versus the lc6i ill go for this one.

[kwalton]

Yes the LC6. I am a big fan of Alpine and it gives you a lot more features for a little more money. The LC6 is good but not enough control for me.

Kk thanks, is the controller digital?

[juldupp]

Ordered the pxe-h660

[juldupp]

Considering i have changed my front speakers to components, and added 2 extra speakers on my trunks upper panel, i have a total of 6 speakers in my car, but my backdoors speakers arent plugged in my amp, im not sure the guy that installed my setup is ok..
He didnt even knew that i needed a sound processor to keep my factory radio. Im not sure what i should do, tell him to install my processor and plug my oem speakers on the amp, or just go see a real professionnal.
Can any1 tell me if those conections are legit?
