Wow Jaguar....Stereo all fixed finally!!
#201
My 2015 F type R stereo received the upgrade a few months ago. Previously it started to develop some buzzing and the sound quality just was not that good.
Now it is much better and I would say that the wattage was not reduced as I can produce very powerful sound and punch. My mechanic told me that Jaguar re-configured the split per speaker as one of the upgrades, plus others that he was not sure of, but he did say that a lot of work went into the new upgrade.
And to add, the dealer also added some sort of sound insulation to the doors.

I wonder if that is it.

Maybe I should just take it in and say it sounds bad.

What did you tell them? I have a 2017 but I'm not sure if my speakers can be improved or not (not much of an audiophile I guess), is there a way to determine whether your speakers are not performing the way they should?

That is also my experience. It's a close call between DTS and Dolby after the fix, with a slight advantage towards Dolby. Before the fix DTS was clearly best.

Funny that, I find Meridian the best.
I have never had the fix applied (maybe the previous owner did) but my 770W surround system has always sounded really good to me, and Cambo has heard it and reckons it's all good. I have fiddled with various settings and I keep coming back to Meridian, for me it's the clearest and crispest but still with strong and clear bass.

I'm going to dealer tomorrow for this update. Hopefully I won't have to argue/persuade them to just do it. The service advisor said on the phone he hadn't heard of this before. There's probably only a couple F-types registered in this whole region though, so it doesn't surprise me. I'm armed with a couple tracks that demonstrate it, and a tone generator on my phone which really demonstrates it, and the printout of the bulletin from topix in this thread.
I hope the update is as good as some say. The stereo in this car is "tragic" by my standards. Luckily the exhaust makes up for it.
