MazzyMan 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low 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.

Low 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XFS 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazzyMan 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinL 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XFS 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benson2909 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 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlionman 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiaster 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monster667 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorex_ee 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
