Thanks. Finally I can hear the quality and power of the e up sound system. My tiny KIA Picanto soundsystem has the quality sound of a vintage transistor radio... Horrible! It's a pity e up cannot be upgraded to the beats 300w available for the petrol up. Great video!

[@DrHouse-zs9eb]

Why is this upgrade not possible?

[@javierhiguerasdurango9420]

Many thanks for the video Tedo. Greetings.

[@tedonash2681]

This video was for you 😊

[@pierredelhasse3477]

about the volume when using bluetooth. On the video I noticed that you had to push volume almost at maximum. You should do this : on the media system you choose MENU, then Sound Settings (for me it's French so I try to translate and the words may be slightly different) VOLUME and there you can change the volume of Aux and Bluetooth (three different levels) For the radio I see you have FM and DAB; I only have FM. Maybe because I'm living on the countryside, I should test it in bigger cities

[@tedonash2681]

Thank you Pierre, I didn’t know that

This issue with the USB stick size is really a design flaw, no question about it. I would try to see how I can add an USB Hub under the dashboard so I can add another USB plug somewhere in a more appropriate position, like the lower part of the console or in the handbreak area. But of course, the original USB plug near the phone holder will remain active also, as a different output of the hub, so you can charge your phone while listening to music from an USB stick (because most phones dont have wireless charging ) It would be an interesting weekend project 🙄

[@tedonash2681]

Please share it with us. I am trying to find the best USB hub to solve this issue. I have tested 2 and they all can't fit in the USB holder. I have ordered 3 more and I am hopping that at least one will fit the USB holder so we can have more USB ports available.

[@Alex-tj1zo]

Unfortunately I am not an e-up! owner yet so I can't help too much except with ideas and maybe some advice at this moment... But I was thinking that it would look better if the hub would be hidden under the dashboard, in the space behind the radio/multimedia system. And so from there a cable would be nicely masked and routed to the glove compartment or any desired location where an female USB connector frame can installed, or even the hub itself with USB extender cables of course. I will look for some relevant links and come back to you.

[@tedonash2681]

Mine main goal is to be easy for everyone to install it, because this design flaw will impact everyone. I think it will be hard for someone to put the hub under the dashboard.

[@Alex-tj1zo]

@@tedonash2681 In this case, my sugestion was too laborious indeed. So the easyest alternative would be an Y USB data cable www.amazon.de/dp/B06WD2K2Y8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_a9-oEbSP7NXZ0?language=en_GB

@@tedonash2681 Hi, I think I found something that will also work and also offer you more USB ports: Trust HU-4445P Mini HUB 4 Port USB2 www.amazon.de/dp/B000KKH3QY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_7QepEbZ2KFREB The USB plug is only 1.5 cm wide so it will go trough (it happens that I have one at home 😁)

Hello, is it possible to add a cd player externally to the VW up? Gianni

[@oslius]

hi. do you have the stock speakers? it s the 6 speakers version? what about the sound quality?

[@tedonash2681]

The sound quality is pretty good. I really have no clue what are the speakers. For sure they are the the once that came from the factory.

[@maikprivat7184]

Thanks 👍🏻

Dankeschön Super informativ

[@Svihak177]

@Tedo: Do you happen to know any limitations od USB/SD flash size and/or number of albums/tracks? Thank you for these practical vids!

[@tedonash2681]

No I don't know. I have tested with 64 GB SD card and USB and it seems to work fine. I would suggest you to check in the users manual. I hope there is more info there.

[@sushifix1367]

I really like to know is if the canbus interface is compatible with the radio adpaters beginning models from 2011 so that I can change the radio without loosing the steering radio remote control (working by canbus). I kown that for sure the bluetooth car data will not be available anymore. But even though it would be interesting if this works. Thank you anyway.

[@tedonash2681]

I would also really want to know that. Unfortunately i can not test that because my car is under warranty and this will surely void it. I hope someone else can help you with that. By the way what radio you have in mind (brand/model)?

[@sushifix1367]

@@tedonash2681 I sucessfully build two Sony XAV-AX3005 in Ford S-Max and Toyota IQ with both steering radio remote control. This radio use 1-DIN case but 2-DIN in Front for the display. I am sure with a special shield made by 3D Printer or Wood it can be adapted to the e-up. I really like carplay and android auto!

[@alexsteaua99]

What are those 2 empty sd card-sized slots supposed to be for? I thought you can insert a micro sd into it, but you can't

This wholes are to unlock the whole unit and remove it if needed

can you try usb hub with multiple sticks please

I tried one it doesn’t fit. I have ordered an USB hub that I hope will fit in the hole. Will take some time to arrive

[@clanchef]

Can you show how using Spotify works with the audio system?

[@tedonash2681]

It should work exactly how it works on you phone. Only the sound will be played on the car radio. I don't see much of a value to make a video about it.

[@clanchef]

Tedo Nash means you mount the phone vertically into the dock and control by touch screen or by audio system? How to select titles? On touch screen or audio system?

[@tedonash2681]

@@clanchef that really depends which car model do you have. I have no information if Volkswagen will support App-Connect in the new 2020 model of e-up/citigo iv/mii electric . If it supports it then you can operate with the Spotify directly from the entertainment system. If not then you have to control it from the phone: connect.volkswagen-we.com/en_GB/discover-car-net/app-connect/apple-carplay.html

Why when i am connected by Bluetooth and i also CONNECT the usb cable (just in order to recharge my iPhone) i lose the Bluetooth CONNECTION (Spotify, KZbin, Waze...)!?
