Default RS3 Subwoofer adjustments missing?

I know this topic has been beaten to death but I'm trying to adjust my system to my liking and the manual states that subwoofer adjustment is available. Going through MMI, there is no option. Can someone confirm this please?

I can confirm 2018 Canadian RS3 has the subwoofer control.

I found it in sound settings below the treble and bass.

My 2018 Canadian RS3 does not show the subwoofer control. Hmmmm…. Just treble, bass and the focus effects, etc.

I know your car was on the first ship over and I believe mine was on the second. I've seen other posts about this option changing after a certain build date. Maybe MMI version at factory was changed between our cars. I'm sure a dealer update will fix it.

Probably right. Do you know what software version your car has installed (found somewhere in the MMI first settings screen). Mine is Software version: 0906

Mine is a 2018 Canadian build as well but not subwoofer control. You one of the lucky ones. Time for a trip to the dealer

I doubt you will be able to have the subwoofer control added....the removed that feature after a certain build date, correct? I don't think they will "backwards downgrade" your software to the older version. I'm with you....it's crazy they removed this. However I'm guessing they have had a lot of complaints about woofer rattles and squeaks along with blow speakers, and this is the easy way to solve it. My Volvo had software added that reduced the maximum adjustment of the base after they had a lot of blown speakers, so Audi wouldn't be the first manufacturer that has done this....
