VW Transporter Audio Upgrades

Speaker, subwoofer, DSP and stereo upgrades for the VW Transporter T5, T6, T6.1 and T7, from direct-fit door speakers to complete plug and play sound systems.

The factory Transporter system is one of the weakest on the road, which makes it one of the most rewarding to upgrade. Choose from Gladen, Alpine, Vibe Optisound, Option Audio and Helix, plus the Pioneer SPH-EVO98DAB VW van stereo kit and brake light reversing cameras. Have it fitted at our Nottingham workshop.

Which Transporter upgrade should I choose?

Check your model first: the T5 and T6 use 8 inch front door speakers, while the T6.1 uses 6.5 inch. Door speakers and tweeters are the biggest single improvement. A complete kit with a DSP amplifier and underseat sub transforms the van without losing load space. For CarPlay, the Pioneer SPH-EVO98DAB kit fits the dash with the right fascia and keeps factory features through the retention cables.
