Seat Sound Retrofit Kits

[Tara]

We made a 6 hour round trip to Kieran (East Yorkshire Retrofits) to have Seat Sound installed (along with a digital cockpit) and can confirm it's highly worth it!

Sounds good , did you have standard dials originally then and how much for the digital dash?

How much notice is needed to arrange installation of the kit?
Would I be able to book it with you and get the MIB sorted when I arrived rather than posting it?

The more notice the better, extremely busy at the moment

If we're installing it then there's no need to post anything, if you're wanting a DIY kit but you'd wanted to collect it then we could prepare the radio unit for you whilst you're collecting however it would be a quiet drive home as turning it up could cause damage to the speakers until the kit is fully installed

Was told ages ago at the dealer that the front door speakers were the same, and just the rear door speakers were different bewtween SSS (of course plus centre and sub). There's one thing that gets me, the 8 speaker setup is rated at 4x20watts. The SSS is rated as 135 watts, is there a separate amp or just the headunit actually detuned, but can output an extra 20 watt to centre and assuming 35 watts to sub once unlocked?

I've sound deadened all my doors and the whole rear half of the car. Sound is very good right now, will SSS still be a big improvement?

SSS has the same speakers as the standard 8 speaker system with the addition of the centre front speaker and the bass unit in the boot.
When the parameters are changed in the head unit the outputs are reconfigured and the wiring has to be altered to suit.

Yes it will be a huge improvement. I actually did the work in the same order as you have on my own Leon

Perfectly put

This is a good question. I'm not actually sure on the exact wattage - however the radio is the same between factory fit SSS & non SSS cars and the changes are all wiring/sound parameter related

No longer have my Leon for people to look at/listen to. However if people are curious to have a listen, if you give me us a private message we can speak to customers and see if they'd be happy to demo the system

Booked in for this to be fitted on 20th June.
Not even met Kieran yet but over messages he’s been great and such a good help and fast reply’s

Really happy with the seat sound retrofit.
Kieran provided a great service. I installed it myself using the guides provided and a couple of adhoc questions which Kieran helped with very promptly.

No it won't sound better

It removes low frequencies from the door speakers to send to the subwoofer. If the subwoofer isn't there - neither will the low frequencies be

You could likely take the high level output destined for the subwoofer and feed an amp with it if it has a high level input, or convert it for an amp without

The units aren't that expensive to replace, however we ask that customers ensure parcels are insured for the full value as we do when sending them

I retrofit fitted this without the sub, and i am using mib 2 upgraded, not sure what version but its the preh radio, component protection removed and coded to the car but satnav needs activating, how much would be for your help ?

If you've had component protection removed then all of the features should have been disabled. So how come you only need nav activating?

Also seat sound without the sub?

I had 5F0 035 858A i assume is mib 1 , had satnav and dab, i upgraded to 5QA 035 874,
£80 for Component protection removed and he coded it to the car but could not activate satnav, he did say coded seat sound, i bought the sub but didn't fit it because i want the satnav active first.
DAB, Bluetooth,vehicle settings, works but voice control, satnav no are not avaiable he could not activate it, he used odis to remove protection, i am using the 8inch screen he sold me £130
