Default What are my options for a new stereo in a 03 XJR?

I want to swap out the factory stereo for something with a touchscreen/nav/ipod/phone bluetooth, but i'm having a difficult time finding one that fits my 2003 Jaguar XJR 4.0.

Anyone have some recommendations?



Would the Pioneer AVH-3200bt fit in my XJR?

It's the stock radio, exactly like this one in the picture:

I believe there's a number of threads in the XJ8 forum area, and for that system, they say there isn't enough height to do a full 7" touchscreen. Theres a thread that a member removed the screen to make it fit...the motorized screen in a single-din application will work. I know there are 6.5" versions now, that might fit also...but its installs like this I leave to the experts at the audio shop.

Check out these threads

No navigation or DVD playback? IT looks like a nice receiver, but its mainly Ipod/BT heavy.

Have you seen the JVC AVX-77?

You bet, I've got the ADV-49 right now, but want to upgrade to this one ASAP.
