Decent Audio upgrade for the Golf 7?

    Are these audio upgrades available on the Golf 7 a worthwhile improvement over the standard radio/CD?

    I have the standard one in my 2011 Jetta and it's sound is quite poor. If I get a new Golf next year, I'd be hoping for something better in audio but I don't fancy an after-market job. OE would be nicer if it sounds noticeably better.

    From the VW configurator:

    Digital DAB Radio € 252

    Discover Pro € 1,557

    Mobile Device Interface MEDIA-IN with iPod/iPhone adapter cable

    Navigation feature "Discover Media € 559

    Radio "Composition Media" incl. Bluetooth

    None of that would really make the sound better, it's more to do with the functions of the head unit.

    There used to be an upgrade for the speakers etc but I can't remember if it is on the 7. Think it was called dynamic media or something like that.

    The cheaper discover media nav option is a nice affordable upgrade of the standard system, the screen is still the standard 5.8 inch one but the actual navigation software used is decent enough in them.

    The upgrade for the Golf 7 is the Dynaudio sound system however it's not currently offered in Ireland. It's a shame too as it's an incredible system.

    I'm aware of the Dynaudio available outside Ireland (what's new?)

    but is there an available HU upgrade in Ireland from the RCD 510 which I have in my Jetta but it sounds like there are socks in the speakers.

    I had a 2008 Jetta, the HU which I replaced with a Becker head, and even with the stock speakers, the sound was far improved on the orig. As usual, Irish customers seem to be denied decent upgrade options from VW.
