Model 3 SR+ Audio upgrade UK installers

[Tashou17]

• #1

After purchasing our car (which we are currently waiting for delivery of) we discovered that the Audio on the SR plus doesn't include the Amp, sub and additional speakers that the LR & Performance does.

We fear that the SR+ will be lacking in bass so would like the 2 front pillar speakers to work + a sub & amp in the location where it would be if we got premium audio.

Is there anyone in the UK that has done the upgrade themselves or are there are any companies who offer this kind of upgrade?

Alternatively has anyone just added a standard sub and amp and achieved a similar sound to the premium audio?

The standard SR+ audio isn't that bad. The base in the LR isn't that more pronounced either. What is better is the spacial sound setting if you like that sort of thing...

 

[SR-Plus]

I think the sound in the SR+ in the front is pretty decent.
I think if you’re in the rear seats, you might find it lacking but my kids have their headphones on so it’s not a problem for me.

However to answer your question, Yes there are upgrades.

Thanks for this very helpful we will take a look. I guess we felt spoilt when we test drove the LR and had a party in the car on our test drive, it was a selling point for us so finding out that we won't get the same sound in the SR is making us feel we won't be happy with it when it comes. We did go back to try and get a demo of the SR + system but they only had the LR + Performance to try so I guess we will just have to wait and hope. If not we will look into one of these upgrade options.

Thanks again for all who have responded so far.

One more question based on the 1st link has anyone ordered from here and if so what options did ppl go for and how easy was the installation?

I’ll be first to admit that I’m not massively into the whole hi spec audio scene but my advice would be to wait until you have taken delivery and see what you find the audio to be like before going ahead with an upgrade - you might find it’s fine as it is.

Compared to some other cars I have, I find the audio great - I agree with person above that it’s a little bit quieter in the back of the car than the front but otherwise I find it fine - certainly don’t hear any road / wind / background noise over your music if you don’t want too

I've always had top of the range audio fitted in my previous BMW car orders, and I was impressed with the M3SR and M3P audio systems - they were both far better than I expected. I doubt you'll be disappointed with the audio.

 

[Tashou17]

So got my car last weekend. Love but I do feel I need to look into upgrading the speakers some how. To me it's missing a little bit of fullness and base.

I'm going to look at the hansshow offers but not sure what option is best. I saw on some of the US threads there is something called Tesla offer not sure what that is.

If anyone has any has any experience or suggestions would be greatful

I thought that the hardware is there for the speakers (ie the speakers are all in situ as in the LR) but what was missing was the crossover and additional cable loom to "activate" the extra speakers. I've seen plenty of these types of kits: Model 3 SR Premium Audio Upgrade

Thanks I found this too. But won't I still need a sub to increase the bass?

 

[Tashou17]

Got a software update today which is supposed to make the Immersive sound better.... Anybody noticed a difference?

 

[Paul67]

I got that upgrade too but didn't notice any significant difference in my SR+. I'm looking to upgrade to LR-quality audio too. Although mine is 'good', I remember the LR audio was much better, (more 'spatial'?) during the test drive December last year.
Before i do upgrade, I'll try to find out if the Spotify app in the car is limited in data-rate. It sounds like it is, compared to good data-rate recordings on a USB drive. Anyone know?

Spotify is definitely not lossless and comes in several streaming quality flavours, 96kbps, 160 and 320. I’d actually like to know what you actually get in the car, too. Does it say anywhere?

I think there is only so much you can do in such a compromised space such as a car.

The quality of the source will make more impact.

At home I spent time with room treatment and correction and that made more difference than anything else.

.. .and presumably adapts/varies depending on the quality of your data connection at any one time.

 

[Tashou17]

So I noticed over the weekend that if I play music via my phone on Bluetooth the sound is way better than the Spotify straight from the car. Still would like to upgrade but it's not as urgent now.

If any...

Sanity check question, is the RWD / SR audio the same?

Looking to upgrade audio in the RWD. Thanks.

 

[kelvin 660]

Yes it is the same as SR+. I.e.missing speakers and sub woofer

 

[SR-Plus]

And amplifier I believe
