MazzyMan 3 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Just curious...anyone here has upgraded their sound system? After market stuff? Amps, change speakers etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Low 0 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I'm still contemplating of adding an amp to mine. Workshop suggest that i should stay away until warranty expires. a member suggested i add a battery to drive it so as not to tap into the build-in car batt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Low 0 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 i spoke to my SA, she has absolutely no idea at all. Then i ask a service guy. His advice is to keep stock as it could interfere their main ECU. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XFS 114 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hmm... tempting. Next time I go Wearnes, I will check too. Will update if I get additional info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MazzyMan 3 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 The biggest problem when the ECU is too smart...there is no room to improve or spend money sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelvinL 1 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Just done an upgrade last weekend together with some friends i met at auto show. Unlike other make, Jags are very sensitive. Tried a few times but no luck and finally the only upgrade i can do is to get another 2 channel amp for sub and upgrade speaker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XFS 114 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 MelvinL we need to meet to listen! I asked Wearnes if there is any option to upgrade my sound system and the answer came back as no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelvinL 1 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Sure. will drive down on next meetup. Can feel abit of difference with more bassy music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XFS 114 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 A bit difference only? What is the damage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelvinL 1 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Pioneer amp, sub and 2 speaker + auto tuner (dunno what is that) - 2500 Labour - 500 Time spent - 6 hrs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benson2909 2 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Does it void the warranty? I have upgraded mine. The ang mo at the serive centre said that my warranty related to ICE upgraded will not be covered. I have also changed my rim to after market 20 inch. They also say the same thing.

kennethtancy 59 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 well technically they can but it up to them.. just like some insurance can void certain policies just because there are minor mods to the car. all in the fine print and sometimes they even reserve the right to interpert it their way... so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
merlionman 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm thinking of just changing the speakers. But I was told if the bottleneck is the head unit, then the improvement is minimal. Has anyone here just changed the speakers? Any marked improvement? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chiaster 48 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I don't think anyone has tampered with the audio set up amongst the jags I know... Anybody? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
monster667 1 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Anyone just changed speakers without adding an amp on their XF? Feel the stock system is way lacking compared to my previous stock Audi A6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
razorex_ee 16 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I don't know what's stock system for the new XF but my 2009 premium luxury model comes with B&W sets, pretty decent. Evoque comes with Meridian sound system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
