1. Change of HU and Speakers - I am also interested primarily in improving the sound quality. Have also come across the Philadelphia 835 HU from Blaupunkt as a viable option especially since it comes with satnav. What do you think about it?But did changing the HU/speakers have any effect on the warranty? Did you get these changes updated in the car records in the workshop?
2. Change of tyres - Most TBHPians have suggested a change of tyres at the outset to improve the ride quality and sound. What was your experience with them? Same question about the warranty since the tyre dimensions have changed.
bala80, souravc and any other vento owners : if you are reading this thread, would like your opinion too.
Thank you |
I'm happy that you got some info from this thread.
My main objective was good sound, so I didn't think of any brands for HU except Pioneer(Influenced with years of usage in other car).
But I took a while for deciding the speakers, finally went with Focal. Till today I'm very much satisfied. I'm not sure which car record you are referring here.
The part I like in Philadelphia 835, it gives VW OE look. I'm not sure on the sound quality.
The tire change certainly helps, I love my CPC-2. I suggest them for Vento TDI, excellent ones.
On the upgrade what I felt was HU and tire upgrades seems to be very common and no one cares. Then finally you have to make the call ![Smile](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png)
