Hidden equalizer for Symphony radios

After switching my to my new symphony radio, I thought it sounded shitty, but then again, it did before.

I stumbled upon this great post, which unveils a hidden equalizer if you have a symphony radio, and it makes the sound system so much better.


From the post (http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=148602);

The following is the procedure on how to access and adjust the "hidden" equalizer feature in the Audi Symphony radio.

1. Turn off radio.
2. While pressing and holding the Preset 5 button, turn on radio.
3. You'll see a series of 8 digits displayed. From the factory, it's set to "55555555". You will not hear any sound when running in this mode.
4. The first four digits correspond to the four equalizer bands (low, low-mid, upper-mid, high) for the front speakers, and the last four digits are the same for the rear speakers. The level can be set from 1 (minimum) to 9 (maximum).
5. Turn the volume control knob to increase or decrease the level for the band (which is blinking). To advance to the next band, press the P.Scan button.
6. When you are done, turn off radio, then turn it back on to hear the results. On some versions of the Symphony, you must also cycle the ignition key to hear the results.

Some popular settings used are; 76567656 and 88698869. I used 76567656, I thought it sounded better, but I will play with it later when its not 3am.
