Hello all. This is my first post and I hope you can help.
I have a new S-Type that I purchased with the standard sound system. Every thing is fine, but I need a bit more "umph" in the music department.
I've been told by the dealership that the upgraded sound system can only be installed at the factory so I am looking for alternatives.
When I look down in the spare tire well, I see some unused connectors on the driver's side below where the premium sound package with CD changer would normally be installed.
I'm guessing / hoping that those connectors may be for the audio system and that maybe the wires run all the way back to the head-end radio / CD player unit in the dash.
My plan is to install a new amp in the car and it'd be great if I could wire it into the stock system with a minimum of work.
Does anybody have any thoughts on adding amplifiers to a new S-Type or suggestions on using any of the existing stuff?
Or. . . was the dealer right about how a premium sound system can only be installed by those clever blokes back on the British assembly line.
It'd be great if I could just "plug-in" to connectors that are already there.
Thank you in advance for any and all help you can offer me.
Cheers!
Jim
