How or where is the Sound Booster installed?
The sound generator is installed at the underbody of the car. If there isn't enough space, it can be installed inside the spare wheel recess. The Modules are assembled in the inside and get connected.
What size is the sound generator?
The spheric sound generator has a perimeter about 64 cm, a diameter of around 20 cm and a height of ca. 16 cm.
Will the sound generator get installed into the exhaust?
No, the Sound Booster is not integrated into the exhaust. This makes the Active Sound System easy to remove again.
Am I able to install the Sound Booster by myself or do I need to visit a specialist workshop?
This depends on the kit you want to install. The vehicle specific kit can be installed by you. The universal kit needs to be welded, so it might be secure to let it be installed by a specialist workshop.

I retrofitted the universal kit on my Audi and do not have any sound now. Why?
If you installed the system on a Audi A8 4H, A6 4G, A7 4G you have to encode this:
Address 09 Byte 11: Set Bit 6 to 1.
After successful encoding the Sound Boost while motor starting in dynamic mode is activated or can be activated in the individual mode, if the settings for Motor/Gear and motor sound are set to dynamic.
The retrofit kit by Audi for the A4/A5 is not getting louder with the KUFATEC module. Why?
