The 2010 GTI comes to mind. I believe the 2009's had an actual tube that went into the cabin, and for the 2010 models people began to find sound symposeurs tucked in the dash.
The sound symposeurs and sound tubes are a completely different method of amplifying the sound though. Basically, these devices channel sound from the engine through the firewall and into the cabin, unlike Active Sound playing it over the speakers.

If you can't even tell it is there, why have it there in the first place?
