Can I fit Soundaktor to my Leon mk2 1p?

[dennis10]

As in title, I have an FR+ facelift CR 170 FR Leon - and being a diesel, it doesn't sound particularly great - so is it possible to fit a Soundaktor unit from another VAG model and activate it in VCDS, so I get some nice fake engine sounds piped into the cabin?

Has anyone done this? I know the mk3 184 Diesel's have them, so figure it shouldn't be that difficult to get one working.. but I could be wrong.

Are you sure you really want that?

A good number of YouTube videos are about how to disable it.

Soundaktor isn't a recording of engine noise. It's a mic / cheapo speaker combination that makes your current engine noise louder. So if you think it doesn't sound great now. With a soundaktor it will sound not great but louder.

You don't want to do this. Enjoy real engine sounds while they are still with us.
