Details?

 

Yes bluetooth is vital, and I took a look at the parrot systems.
they seem to be pretty awesome; but I need to keep the dash looking as slick as

possible, so no extra things hanging around. Im willing to do trade in the car to build

the stype of my dreams, and i actually wanted to paint it silver. I got a

quote for 3500, so that was a no-go. so trading for a non nav stype would

kill two birds. After alot of research, this screen I found has everything I

could want and much more. Android OS has pretty much the best nav I've ever used,

so having it in a car is a no brainer. I can't wait to get back home from this deployment!

 

Looks good. Noticed you were in Denver - and own two S-Types. You'll have to PM me on good places to go when I need work done on mine

 

Yeah I try to do a lot of my own work on them.

 

The only hard part is making a kit for the radio but the amp is easy to change and all the wire are easy to find the only thing I had to cut was the speaker wire from the stock amp and then wire them with new amp.

 

You certainly are forth coming with the details ...

 

I also have the Nav just like your pictures. I need help cause I replaced the bottom piece which is the cd player, but for some reason the clock and the radio wont keep its memory. I tried a few things and would greatly appreciate your help.

 

Please start a new thread. You are just confusing everyone who reads this thread.

Would you like to trade ?

 

Do you have stock stereo or aftermarket one.

 

Hi Jeff,

I really like how your new navigation system looks in your Jag. What make and model is this one in the picture? I am also looking for something similar but am having a difficult time trying to identify one with the correct specs that would work in my 2003 S-type.

Thanks.

 

This is a simple fix, buy a non nav. climate control. Take the connector off the remote climate control that feeds your navigation, put it on the non-nav control run 3 sets of RC cables to the trunk. put in 1-4 channel amp to feed your door speakers, and 1-2 channel amp to feed your Sub. Get the speaker wiring diagram for your car connect the 4 channel amp to those wires. By the way you won't need any for the factory stuff in the trunk, so take it out. You definitely don't need to get another car.

 

In a few days when I get my installation kid, I will be installing a Alpine INE Z928HD and running 2 Amps in my truck. Anybody that want to buy a 2005 nav. With everything to go with it. I will post the before and after pictures.

 

Wonder where the OP ever ended up with this. If I had a 2008 S Type I wouldn't be trading it because of the stereo. My install sounds good enough - although I never updated with a subwoofer yet.

 

I Definitely should have sold it before I left. I just got back from this deployment

and apparently tx had a couple hailstorms while i was gone, everything is pretty much dented up, if you see it from the right angle. and then I go to

change out a tire and see the most disheartening ****, a family of mice had moved into my trunk!!!!..i cant even look at this car the same anymore.

luckily i had insurance

and they gave me 6,000 for the damage. And now all four actuators in the

doors, refuse to work, I hear the whirring but it doesn't engage the actual lock.

if i get the hail damage fixed, I doubt if it can ever reclaim its former glory.
I don't know whether to fix it or just try to sell as is and get something else.

 

Is the wiring (harness) that runs between the amp (in the trunk) and the head/control unit different from the nav unit vs the non-nav unit? Or...asked differently - are the amps different between the nav and non-nav equiped vehicles?

thankz,
ken

 

If your car has been sitting you might just need a new battery.

Not helpful to the op who has a CD head unit but my car has a cassette which is much easier to get music from your phone onto.

I just bought one of those cassette adapter thingies which just plugs into the headphone socket on my phone and goes into the cassette slot. Sounds great and cost me a couple of quid.

 

Does anyone who has done the upgrade with the non-nav cars know how to wire the speakers to the aftermarket amp? The speakers in my doors have tweeters in front of them. Im doing the install and I am stumped on this……

Do I need to buy new speakers??????
