If you change the fade does it make a big differance in sound?

Default Don't know but it turns on when you sell a TT

Only the Blose system has it turned off. The rear speakers in the Bose are just low woofers, and make an integrated system with the factory fade setup. At least that's what they say.

Default You must have the Blowse stereo. . .

The Bose "engineers" have designed their electronics, amps and speakers to compliment the interior of the TT. Acoustically you can't get any better . . . according to Bose. You should not need a fader as everything is tuned to perfection for your particular car.

The rear speakers are not full range speakers, so fading the sound to the back of the car will only muddy the sound even further. They are mid-range speakers.

Once you enable the fader, it turns on "mega bass", which is just turning off the $600 Bose stereo you paid for . . . but sounds better. lol

It's disabled in the Coupe. I think a few people have managed to recode to turn on -- not sure.

Default You can enable the fader, but it doesn't actually fade.

The issue is that the Bose amplifier is hooked up to the front outputs only. When you use the fader to fade to the rear, it just turns down the volume. If you want the fader enabled, you'll probably have to get rid of the whole thing and start over with a new head unit, amp and speakers.
