Can’t say I noticed any difference in mine, didn’t even realise it has the extra speaker until I started pulling it apart.

None of my cabasse cars have had that either!
But yes it does sound a chunk better, not quite as powerful as a good aftermarket but a nice compromise of looking standard and retaining the controls/screen

Guess it’s a option for tuner list cars.
@Yorkshire Pudding is in the know.

Usually on satnav models.
To be honest without getting a subwoofer you're pissing in the wind. My auditorium was great but i have nothing else to compare it to (compared to standard, I'm running an aftermarket unit now)
I'd just get a decent aftermarket headunit that looks close to oem. Plenty of nice looking alpine units
The small sub was an option with cabasse iirc
Upper specc'd cars came with them, my dCi 100 had the small sub and a cabasse, my 172 doesn't have the sub but has a cabasse and tbh it sounds fuxking s**t compared to the old trusty derv

Nah i know its a right piddly little bag of s**t
But it can't be for nav as they didn't sell any sat nav dCi 100's iirc. Only a handful of dCi 80 Paris Initiales
My nav speaks through this
Really?!
In my old dci it just made subtle wub wubs. The door speakers in that were the "upgrade" non paper things and were ace
Yeah haha
It will forever remain a Renault mystery hon hon hon

it was an optional extra and all the Dynamique+ dci 100's ive come across were pre wired for it though with the GPS receiver in the Ariel (my 100 had it) - they have the ariel with the big base rather than the small round one:
You still got this? How was that aerial wired?

Na was years ago, sorry I've never seen the wiring under the base to see how it was wired I assume an extra wire ran along side the main wiring to the sat nav system
megane 285 sport
The audio is woefull in the megane mk3s, me and many others opted to fit a pioneer gm-d1004 head unit amp like this
They come with iso connectors so were plug and play on the megane with bluetooth adaptor lead, but i beleive the clios tuner list headunit are straight forward iso connectors, so even better, no seperate power cables, or ignition, switches on when it detects signal from the stereo, was defo an improvement from standard, and with a underseat sub 100 times better.

I learn something new every day!
Never knew some models had a speaker there - my certainly doesn't.
Did this car have satnav? Or just the standard radio?

That makes sense my 172 has the bigger Ariel base aswell.
However it’s not fitted with a sat nav which is a bit odd for them to put the wiring in.

Sean some seem to have the wiring with no nav but not seen an RS with this. Does the vin on your dash top match the car? People were selling sat nab setups for mega money back in the day, seen the dash top alone go for £300!

Yeah all matches, satnav wasn’t speced on the original invoice either.

I know that some thieves will take anything.... but to swap out your fuel tank for a pile of porridge oats? That's all a bit weird....?
I'll pm you mate!

It was a dynamique+ so had climate and electric sunroof but just had the standard non cabasse update list with no sat nav
Weird how theyd do that. I removed my satnav and ran a standard aerial cable to the aerial from my radio but the signal is now terrible.
The gps unit they bridged through previously (that I removed) was an aerial booster it seems.

Beat me to it except I was going for cat litter!
