Audi e-tron GE – Subwoofer Menu

Audi e-tron GE Subwoofer Menu Activation (RetroLab Pro)

Many Audi e-tron GE vehicles with Audi Sound System (PR-9VD) are limited to basic Bass and Treble adjustment from factory. The subwoofer is installed and active, but cannot be adjusted separately in the MMI.

This activation unlocks the hidden subwoofer menu, allowing independent adjustment of Bass and Subwoofer levels for a more precise and refined sound setup.

Using RetroLab Pro, the activation is performed through a guided, VIN-specific OEM process — no dealer visit, no remote coding session, and no manual scripts required.
