XS Factory Fit Stereo
What's the standard factory fit XS radio like? I'm getting mine soon, but want to fit Sat-Nav. If the stereo isn't bad, I could just use a Garmin - but am I better off replacing the whole thing? (I've ordered the speaker upgrade too...)

Excellent - that sounds promising!

Am I right in thinking its an Alpine CDE-133BT? Is there any way to add DAB functionality with an additional module?

It is that unit and the bt is pretty good when stationary , at 70mph its a bit useless due to the noise ingress

Mine sounds great at 90mph on the autobahn with Joe Bonamassa belting out! It maybe wont win the National Subwoofer sound off, that best left to Saxo drivers, but for a Defender its a cracking stereo.

Ive had my 2013 110 XS for a week now and am hugely impressed with the upgraded stereo and sub. Even the hands free bluetooth works great with my iPhone and i have been able to maintain a conversation on the go. At motorway speeds it might be a be harder!

Definitely a worthy upgrade.

Would add mine to the list of impressed xs stereo with subwoofer owners, well worth the extra £150!!

Have you listened to one with the audio upgrade ?

I did over the weekend and for a base vehicle system a lot better than many retro fits by ice aficionados:!: d

Jeremy are we sure we cannot get the upgrade on mine Question 2020 P300 HSE

Thank you! It looks very good behind the cubby box. That alpine sub is around £300 over here.. hmm.

That is the sub that will be in our "90" when it reaches us in about FIVE MONTHS!
Is that image a factory photo, or from someone's car.....I noticed the grey carpet....would that be "factory"....we can't order carpet in Aus?
Cheers, Pickles.
