Guys,

I'm toying with the idea of upgrading the stereo in the Jag. Since I put a new Kenwood Double Din iPod unit in Pauline's Laguna, I've been suffering from audio envy - it sounds much nicer than the factory fit radio in the S-Type (even if it is made by Alpine).

I'm idealy looking for a double din touch screen unit with BlueTooth and iPhone compatibility. There's a couple of interesting units, that seems to tick all the boxes

I'm not worried about the lack of Nav, as I have that on my phone.

Any suggestions to alternatives, and advice on where to buy? I got Pauline's stereo on the spur of the moment from Halfrauds, mainly due to the fact it was on offer - and lucked out. But as this is going in the Jag, I don't want to take the risk of buying an utter pup from a bunch of cowboys.

Ta.

GOO

I think I've settled on the Kenwood Head Unit, after discussing it with some peeps on the Talk Audio foums. I'm thinking of changing the speakers as well - but the guys don't seem to be helping me narrow my choices down - just the opposite in fact.

The Jag takes 6x8 speakers, and is currently fitted with standard Ford Parts bin stock speakers.

Here's some speakers I've found:

And these have been suggested:

Alpine SPG17C2

But would need an adaptor plate.

Any personal experiances with these speakers?
