Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / August 2005x300 stereo (uk)
Can anyone tell me if the stereo in a jaguar x300 is a standard size and therfor easily replaced with a better on? I'm referring to the physical size and shape of the unit and fascia, I expect some kind of adapter may be required for the wiring. The car I'm intending to buy only has a casette player (though it is 'cd compatible' which I assume means I have to buy a cd stack thingy toput in the boot) and I'd rather fit something in place of it that'll play cd's. PS, while we are on the subject of audio, how good are the speakers/audio system? should I assume they are good inline with the general quality of the car or is it a weak area? Regards.

I would personally leave the Jag head unit in and fit a CD stack in the top of the boot a la Jag.You will need to spend £400 + to get similar sound Try these for the CD changer - if the lead is in the boot ( top of the lid) then just plug in and go !! good luck Steve > Can anyone tell me if the stereo in a jaguar x300 is a standard size > and therfor easily replaced with a better on?

They regularly appear on e-bay and go for between £50 & £100. There are a few currently on there, search for 'Jaguar CD Changer' Regards Adrian >>Hi Mark, not standard size!! but you can get a facia adaptor to fit a >>single [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Regards. > Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.) >I would suggest you get the Jag changer for the boot. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Regards >Adrian I see them for the x-type, the xj8 and the s type. would any of them fit? is it a standard jaguar connection? Looking at the car on monday and will bring it home if I'm happy, will see what the state of play is then. Regards. Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.)
