Nearly pushed me over the edge with it doing its own thing. It had to go!!!
Hey Warren, I am so glad you posted how to switch off GALA! I had asked the question a few weeks back but I never really got any feedback.
Do you think Audi would do it? I see it as a fault and the car is brand spanking new so they should do it for free! I have to switch off the stereo every time I get in the car because it annoys me so much.
Awesome build thread by the way. I have to start one once I get the car run in and I get the mods started!
they will probably want to charge you at least £75 for hooking it up to diagnostics, then will round it up with an hourly rate, better to put in a request for someone with VCDS local to your area to do it for you.
Your subtleness knows no bounds Warren! Brave putting a hacksaw to any part of the car! I wouldn't have the bottle! Lol
Looking lovely mate
Turning Gala off is an excellent mod (winds me up something rotten when it turns the volume up on start up)! Just need to find someone to do it for me.
At certain angles you can, but as they're low you have to get down on your knees to notice it.
I can imagine all the people on the forum getting on their hands and knees in car parks trying to see which A3 fog lights have a blue tint..)
I'm with Paul!
I could sort this out for you, Dan and any other VCDS mods you fancy having done. xx
Thanks for the offer Paullie, may well be in contact in a few weeks time once I've got a few other bits and pieces sorted.
I'm with you guys on this, ..you can ONLY see the slightest hint of blue from certain angles, whilst on your hands and knees looking for the blue bits. Not worth losing any sleep over, ..what really matters is the gorgeous pure white light these bulbs give out, which is IMO unbeatable, as far as foglights go. xx
You do get Diamond Visions in H7.
15) Getting rid of GALA
Whilst I don't mind the Bose system, I hate the hissing sound of the Bose Mic adjusted GALA that seems to make the head unit hiss like a b******d whenever the volume is low. Today I decided to turn it off.
So I grabbed the VCDS and should you too want to do it, this is how it's done:
1) Select Module 37-Navigation
2) Select Adaptation - 10
3) Select CHANNEL 08: 'Speed Dependent Volume Control (GALA)'
4) Change the Stored Value from 255 (Bose AudioPilot) to 000 GALA Off
5) Click the Done, Go Back button at the bottom of the Adaptation window
6) Go to the Nav unit and select Media and then SOUND from the bottom right control button
You will see DSP has appeared under BASS / TREBLE
7) Click into DSP and turn GALA off
RESULT: No more hiss = driver bliss!
I have a 61 plate A3 Sportback Black Edition with the RSN-E head unit, Bose sound system, Bluetooth etc. From day 1 there has always been digital noise (hissing) coming from the front speakers. Audi have tried a different head unit and different subwoofer and cant seem to get this issue fixed. I have been told by an audio specialist that the problem is the amp. This however cant be swapped for a 3rd party one. I have just been at Audi who have done the method as described above. Sadly this has not solved my problem. Is there anyone who can suggest anything that would help fix the hissing coming from my speakers?
Thanks
If Audi have done the process as described above it removes the hiss, if it doesn't they're incompetent or liars! Seems to have worked for everyone else.
Post in the VCDS Section (LINK) of the forum and someone local to you from this site should be able to sort it for you.
Wonder if they left the settings as Bose 8P Sound System or changed it to something else in Navigation 37???
Bizarre. Mine still has a bit of gala volume adjustment even when turned off, but my hissing is gone.
Really not sure. I just forwarded them the link with this post and one of their technicians had the software and I am guessing did exactly as you suggested. Just cant understand how it has worked for you and everyone else but not me.
It's a good job my number plate is partially obscured as otherwise I'd be on Audi UK's hit list!
It's hard to be sure why they're approach hasn't worked. Until someone with VCDS looks at it then it will be hard to know.
Just as a point of etiquette it might be a decent thing to do in future if you asked the original poster to see if they are happy with their build thread being sent directly to an Audi dealer. More than happy for people to print stuff off and use it for their own benefit, but I'm not hugely comfortable with Audi Service centres linking into the thread.
This is a quick Q for warren or anyone else if they can shed some light, with thanks to Marc for his VAGCOM I was able to turn off Gala on my RNSE however I noticed that after I turned the car of then on again the option was no longer there, now I don't think the volume has jumped at all but I did notice the hiss once I got into the car earlier before starting it. Any help would be great cheers Richy |

Cheers Warren:icon_thumright:...your a star for finding it...
One problem though...anyone else had it re adapt after a few journeys?
I've had to re-set it twice and after a couple journeys it reverts back to the hiss and no DSP option on the RNSE

Nope sorry dude, factory fitted. I'll have to have a play at the WEThe same thing I'm having go wrong, I have a feeling its because of the RNS-E being retro fitted for myself maybe the same for you?
